Improving indoor air in rural Bangladesh : results of controlled experiments, 2009. (pdf, 218KB)

In rural Bangladesh, Indoor Air Pollution (IAP) is dangerously high for poor households dependent on biomass cooking fuels. Based on earlier World Bank research, controlled, scientifically monitored experiments were conducted in Burumdi village, Narayanganj district, to test the effects of structural arrangements and ventilation practices on IAP. Findings suggest optimal structural choices and village-level measures to reduce IAP exposure.

We have been conducting Solar Cooking trials in a remote village in Bangladesh for 2 years now. We are planning more tests in Bangladesh through January 2010.
We have GREAT difficulty attracting official interest.
