“…As Table shows, asthma was significantly more common in the tandoor‐users group than in the control group. This may be attributed to the detrimental effects of tandoor smoke and is consistent with the findings of earlier studies in which different obstructive lung diseases including asthma were reported to be related to exposure to tandoor smoke . Further, status as an ex‐smoker was also detected more frequently in the tandoor‐users group than in the control group.…”

“…Several case-control and cross-sectional studies have evaluated associations between use of biomass fuels and prevalence of asthma with equivocal results among children and women. (36–43) Other studies have found strong associations between BMF smoke and COPD among non-smoking women. (9, 20, 44) Important new studies, discussed below, have strengthened the link between TRAP and asthma incidence in children, (30, 45–47) incidence in adults (48) and severity in adults.…”

Mounting evidence suggests that air pollution contributes to the large global burden of respiratory and allergic diseases including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pneumonia and possibly tuberculosis. Although associations between air pollution and respiratory disease are complex, recent epidemiologic studies have led to an increased recognition of the emerging importance of traffic-related air pollution in both developed and less-developed countries, as well as the continued importance of emissions from domestic fires burning biomass fuels primarily in the less-developed world. Emissions from these sources lead to personal exposures to complex mixtures of air pollutants that change rapidly in space and time due to varying emission rates, distances from source, ventilation rates, and other factors. Although the high degree of variability in personal exposure to pollutants from these sources remains a challenge, newer methods for measuring and modeling these exposures are beginning to unravel complex associations with asthma and other respiratory disease. These studies indicate that air pollution from these sources is a major preventable cause of increased incidence and exacerbation of respiratory disease. Physicians can help to reduce the risk of adverse respiratory effects of exposure to biomass and traffic air pollutants by promoting awareness and supporting individual and community-level interventions.

“…Several cross-sectional and case-control studies have shown a high prevalence of chronic bronchitis in populations exposed to biomass smoke. 30,[40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47] One study reported a prevalence as high as 72% in nonsmoking women with more than 10 years of exposure to biomass smoke in rural Pakistan. 46 Another study among Turkish women exposed to biomass smoke showed a prevalence of chronic bronchitis of 58% without significant difference between smokers and nonsmokers.…”

Approximately 3 billion people around the world cook and heat their homes using solid fuels in open fires and rudimentary stoves, resulting in household air pollution. Household air pollution secondary to indoor combustion of solid fuel is associated with multiple chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) outcomes. The exposure is associated with both chronic bronchitis and emphysema phenotypes of COPD as well as a distinct form of obstructive airway disease called bronchial anthracofibrosis. COPD from household air pollution differs from COPD from tobacco smoke with respect to its disproportionately greater bronchial involvement, lesser emphysematous change, greater impact on quality of life, and possibly greater oxygen desaturation and pulmonary hypertensive changes. Interventions that decrease exposure to biomass smoke may decrease the risk for incident COPD and attenuate the longitudinal decline in lung function, but more data on exposure-response relationships from well-designed longitudinal studies are needed.
