[Stoves] [biochar-stoves] Biochar Proposal

[Lloyd Helferty]

Thanks, Derick...

This is Jay's proposal, however I did get a positive response from the 
Director for the "Center for e - Learning" at the *Kerala Agricultural 
University* (India), Dr. A.K. Sherief (CC'd), so it may be possible to 
do something. [?]

  Note: Dr. Sherief had been looking to collaborate with Universities 
outside of India in *Tropical agriculture studies*.


P.S. Members of the [Biochar Stoves] and the [Stoves] Lists (CC'd) 
might, however, be interested in the results of this new study as well:

  Clean cookstoves lead to 40% reduction in child burns

Initial results from the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine 
(LSTM)-led Cooking and Pneumonia Study (CAPS) in Malawi indicate that 
cooking with cleaner burning biomass-fuelled cookstoves reduced the risk 
of burns in children under the age of five by over 40% compared to 
traditional open fire cooking.

The two year study was the largest of its kind anywhere in the world, 
with more than 10,000 children enrolled across randomised villages in 
Chikhwawa and Chilumba in Malawi. Half of the families involved were 
given two cleaner burning cookstoves to see if the new stoves, which can 
reduce emissions by up to 90%, would stop the children getting 
pneumonia, a major cause of death in this group. The study found that 
while the cookstoves were well liked, required less fuel and were 
quicker to cook over, there was no effect on the risk of pneumonia.

...  The results of our study suggest that by themselves, cleaner 
burning biomass-fuelled cookstoves are not sufficient to reduce the risk 
of pneumonia in the under 5s. They do, however, appear to be 
*substantially safer* by _reducing the risk of burns in young children_.
