Abstract

Background: Most of the households in developing countries burn biomass fuel in traditional stoves with incomplete combustion that leads to high indoor air pollution and acute respiratory infections. The use of Biomass fuels in household cooking contributes to indoor air pollution and is the cause of more than 4 million deaths around the world annually. Three billion people (more than 40% of the global population) are still dependent on Biomass fuels like firewood, dung cakes, coal, wood and agricultural residues in these countries.
