Dear Tom

 

I am pretty sure the source is Kirk Smith. Another person who is very up on
the subject is Jostein Nygard jnygard at worldbank.org who has made
calculations for whole countries including China.

 

It is possible Steinar Larssen stlarssen at hotmail.com is quite au fait with
backgrounders and even the calculation methods.

 

Regards

Subject: [Stoves] Documenting Health effects of cooking with open fires

 

All,

 

Where are there studies that document the illness and loss of life from
cooking over open fires? We all quote the 1.4 million deaths per year but
what is that information based on? Where is the source documentation? Is
there information to document improvements from stoves?

 

Thanks

 

Tom
