Guatemala trial aims to curb toxic plastic smoke in homes
NCT ID NCT05130632
Summary
This study tests whether community workshops can help villages in rural Guatemala reduce the common practice of burning plastic waste at home. Researchers will compare 8 villages receiving the workshops to 8 villages that do not, focusing on 400 women who cook with wood and regularly burn plastic. They will measure changes in air pollution exposure and levels of harmful chemicals in the women's bodies over 12 months to see if the program works.
