Hi all,<br>
<br>
My 2 cents: it is surprising that the authors of the study did not
think of including electric plates in the range of cookstoves
tested.<br>
<ol>
<li>with the electric plates, they would have been able to prove
if clean cookstoves do make a difference in the health of users,
even with all ambient pollution around (buses, garbage burning,
etc.), as Crispin mentions</li>
<li>they would have been able to prove whether or not improved
woodstoves do make a difference in the health of users</li>
</ol>
<p>Did they make sure there was no stove stacking?<br>
</p>
<p>Seems they'll have to do this study all over again?</p>
<p>Best,</p>
<p>Xavier<br>
