“…Approximately 52% of the world population that uses solid fuels today lives in India and China, and another 21% lives in sub-Saharan Africa (Smith et al 2013). Without dramatic changes in policies, the global number of such people is projected to remain roughly constant through 2030 at 2.7 billion people, or onethird of the world's population (IEA 2012). Most of the projected continued reliance on solid fuels is due to increases in usage in the lowest-income countries in sub-Saharan Africa and Asia, even as solid-fuel use in higher-income countries declines ( Figure 2).…”

“…Modern fuels tend to generate limited HAP because they either (a) burn efficiently and completely when used indoors, as in the case of biogas or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), or, (b) in the case of electricity, are generated through combustion (e.g., coal) or other processes (e.g., wind or hydropower) that take place outside the home. As of 2013, approximately three-fifths of the global population used gas or electricity for cooking (IEA 2012, Smith et al 2013. The rates of use of such cleaner-burning household fuels show a strong positive association with indicators of socioeconomic status, both within and across countries.…”

Traditional energy technologies and consumer products contribute to household well-being in diverse ways but also often harm household air quality. We review the problem of household air pollution at a global scale, focusing particularly on the harmful effects of traditional cooking and heating. Drawing on the theory of household production of health, we illustrate the ambiguous relationship between household well-being and adoption of behaviors and technologies that reduce air pollution. We then review how the theory relates to the seemingly contradictory findings emerging from the literature on household demand for clean fuels and stoves. In conclusion, we describe an economics research agenda to close the knowledge gaps so that policies and programs can be designed and evaluated to solve this critical global problem.

123www.nietoeditores.com.mx artículo original R Re ev vi is st ta a M Mé éx xi ic co o Perfil clínico de sensibilización a hongos en Medellín, ColombiaResumen ANTECEDENTES: la sensibilización a hongos se relaciona con enfermedades alérgicas como: asma, rinitis, conjuntivitis y dermatitis. En general, se asocia con sensibilidad a otros alérgenos. El patrón multisistémico se asoció en Medellín con la sensibilización a hongos.OBJETIVO: determinar el perfil clínico de la sensibilización a hongos en la ciudad de Medellín, Colombia. MATERIAL y MÉTODO:estudio observacional, descriptivo y retrospectivo consistente en la revisión de historias clínicas de pacientes menores de 70 años de edad con sensibilidad a hongos en las pruebas de neumoalergenos realizadas entre el 1 enero de 2011 y el 31 de marzo de 2014 en la consulta de alergología de dos clínicas. Se evaluaron 16 hongos y la coexistencia de enfermedades alérgicas y las condiciones ambientales. anTeCeDenTes Se reconoce que los hongos perticipan en los padecimientos alérgicos y no alérgicos. Está demostrado que los hongos pueden producir alergia tipo I en individuos susceptibles; los identificados con mayor frecuencia son ascomicetos, basidiomicetos y deuteromicetos. 1 Los hongos se encuentran en el interior de las viviendas y en espacios exteriores. La concentración de hongos en los interiores se ha asociado con diversos factores, entre los más relevantes están la humedad visible, las plantas y las mascotas. RESULTADOS 2-5La humedad y los hongos visibles en las viviendas se han asociado con sensibilización a éstos y a enfermedades alérgicas como: asma, rinitis y dermatitis, así como con la severidad de éstas. [6][7][8][9][10] Son escasos los estudios que no identifican esta asociación. 11,12La sensibilidad a hongos en pacientes alérgicos se ha reportado en numerosos estudios y así se ha determinado que en pacientes con rinitis y asma varía de 3 a 20% en Europa, 10% en Escandinavia, de 30 a 60% en Estados Unidos 13 y 6.7% en China.14 La expresión clínica presentada por pacientes sensibilizados a hongos es: asma, dermatitis, rinitis. La sensibilidad a hongos se asocia con sensibilidad a otros alérgenos.8 Está demostrada la asociación entre la sensibilidad a hongos y la severidad del asma 15-18 y de los síntomas de rinitis. 19Existe relación entre la sensibilidad a hongos y la edad; es más frecuente en niños y jóvenes que en adultos y en ancianos. 9,20-22 En Monterrey, México, se encontró mayor prevalencia de sensibilidad a hongos en el grupo de 0 a 10 años. 23En Colombia se demostró que la prevalencia de síntomas de asma y rinitis va en aumento (asma de 10.4 a 12% y rinitis 22.6 a 32% MATERIAL AND METHOD:We reviewed the medical records of 897 patients younger than 70 years old with fungi sensitization in the prick test during the period 1 January 2011 to 31 March 2014 in the allergy facility from 2 clinics. We evaluate 16 fungi and the presence of allergic diseases as well as the environmental conditions. RESULTS:Form 897 prick test, 12.8% were positive to fungi, an...
