Abstract

Nearly half of the world's population is exposed to household air pollution (HAP) due to long hours spent in close proximity to biomass-fueled fires.; We compare CO exposures and concentrations among study promoted intervention stove users and control stove users in San Marcos Province, Cajamarca region, Peru.; Passive CO diffusion tubes were deployed over a 48-hour sampling period to measure kitchen CO concentrations and personal mother and child CO exposures in 197 control and 182 intervention households.; Geometric means (95% CI) for child, mother, and kitchen measurements were 1·1 (0·9-1·2), 1·4 (1·3-1·6), and 7·3 (6·4-8·3) ppm in control households, and 1·0 (0·9-1·1), 1·4 (1·3-1·6), and 7·3 (6·4-8·2) ppm among intervention households, respectively.; With no significant differences between control and intervention CO measurements, results suggest that intervention stove maintenance may be necessary for long-term reductions in CO exposures.
