“…Presence of extra indoor burning events, such as coffee ceremony, burning incense and local alcohol/" areqi" making in the household, was associated with more than two-fold increase in the odds of suffering from childhood ALRI with an estimated AOR of 2.19 (95% CI:1.41-3.40) when compared with no extra indoor burning event. This might be due to an increase in indoor particulate matter concentration as stated by a pilot study conducted among coffee ceremony participants in Addis Ababa homes which reported that the Ethiopian coffee ceremony inside houses could increase the concentration of HAP [50]. The most important inference of this finding is that HAP exposure from extra indoor burning events such as coffee ceremony, burning incense and local alcohol/"areqi" making in the household might elevate the odds of suffering from ALRI in children and this should be further investigated to estimate the separate childhood risks and recommend possible interventions.…”

Prevalence and risk factors of acute lower respiratory infection among children living in biomass fuel using households: a community-based cross-sectional study in Northwest Ethiopia

et al. 2020

Background: Childhood acute lower respiratory infection in the form of pneumonia is recognized as the single largest cause of childhood death globally accounting for 16% of the overall deaths. Some studies also reported a higher prevalence of childhood acute respiratory infection in Ethiopia, which ranges from 16% up to 33.5%. Concerning the risk factors, there are limited community-based studies in Ethiopia in general, and in the current study region in particular. Therefore, the present study was conducted to investigate the prevalence of childhood acute respiratory infection and associated factors in Northwest Ethiopia. Methods: As part of the wider stove trial project, a cross-sectional study was conducted in May 2018 among a total of 5830 children aged less than 4 years old in randomly selected clusters. Binary logistic regression was applied to identify factors linked with childhood acute lower respiratory infection and adjusted odds ratios were used as measures of effect with a 95% confidence interval. Results: A total of 5830 children were included in the study within 100 clusters. Out of which 51.7% were male and 48.3% female. The prevalence of childhood lower acute respiratory infection was 19.2% (95% CI: 18.2-20.2) and found to decrease among children living in homes with chimney, eaves space and improved cookstove than children living in households with no chimney, eaves space and improved cookstove with estimated AOR of 0.60 (95% CI: 0.51-0.70), 0.70 (95% CI: 0.60-0.84) and 0.43 (95% CI: 0.28-0.67) respectively. It was also associated with other cooking-related factors such as cow dung fuel use [AOR = 1.54 (95% CI: 1.02-2.33)], child spending time near stove during cooking [AOR = 1.41 (95% CI: 1.06-1.88), presence of extra indoor burning events [AOR = 2.19 (95% CI: 1.41-3.40)] and with frequent cooking of meals [AOR = 1.55 (95% CI: 1.13-2.13)].(Continued on next page) Conclusion: High prevalence of childhood acute lower respiratory infection was demonstrated by this study and it was found to be associated with household ventilation, cooking technology, and behavioral factors. Therefore, we recommend a transition in household ventilation, cooking technologies as well as in child handling and in the peculiar local extra indoor burning practices.

“…Owing to the logistical reasons, it was not possible to calibrate the instruments during or after the experiment. We therefore relied on calibration data from the manufacturer, which have been confirmed to be reliable with calibration checks outside the factory in a similar study (Keil et al., 2010). To provide reassurance in the measurements obtained, we assessed the precision of the CO logger measurements by the use of duplicates in 10% of the households, and by co‐locating all the 12 CO loggers used in the study for 48‐h period in three separate tests.…”

Are rocket mud stoves associated with lower indoor carbon monoxide and personal exposure in rural Kenya?

2012

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The rocket mud stoves (RMS) were associated with lower CO concentrations compared to three-stone stoves. However, the difference in concentrations was modest and concentrations in both stove groups exceeded the WHO guideline of 7 μg/m(3) , suggesting the unvented RMSs on their own are unlikely to appreciably benefit health in this population. Greater air quality benefit could be realized if the stoves were complemented with behavior change, including education on extinguishing fire when not in use as well as fuel drying, and cooking in locations that are separate from the main house.
