Stovers,<br>
<br>
The message below reached me (and a few other subsrcibers) from the
stove network of Kirk Smith. Note his comment about the Ministry
of Petroleum and the Ministry of Environment. And the abstract is
from an interesting study.<br>
<br>
If ALL cookstoves emissions in India could be removed (impossible,
but the construct is of interest), the attributed annual pre-mature
mortality because od 2.5 PM in the air would only be cut in half.
Reason: there is still so much other PM2.5 from other sources. <br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">This is the
fifth such estimate known to us, three being 24-29% and two,
like this one, being close to 50%. Different methods,
databases, assumptions, etc and we are in the course of
preparing a policy paper describing the issues and what can
be concluded overall. Main point, however, is that being
big and probably the largest single source category in the
country, one must address with household fuels in the fight
to deal with the terrible ambient pollution in India as
well, of course, as vehicles, power plants, industries,
etc. At present, however, the national LPG program is
entirely coming from the Ministry of Petroleum as household
fuels are essentially ignored as a source of ambient
pollution by the Ministry of Environment, which has the air
pollution portfolio./k </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">Abstract:
Exposure to ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is a
leading contributor to diseases in India. Previous studies
analysing emission source attributions were restricted by
coarse model resolution and limited PM2.5 observations. We
use a regional model informed by new observations to make
the first high-resolution study of the sector-specific
disease burden from ambient PM2.5 exposure in India.
Observed annual mean PM2.5 concentrations exceed 100 μg m−3
and are well simulated by the model. We calculate that the
emissions from residential energy use dominate (52%)
population-weighted annual mean PM2.5 concentrations, and
are attributed to 511,000 (95UI: 340,000–697,000) premature
mortalities annually. However, removing residential energy
use emissions would avert only 256,000 (95UI:
162,000–340,000), due to the non-linear exposure–response
relationship causing health effects to saturate at high
PM2.5 concentrations. Consequently, large reductions in
emissions will be required to reduce the health burden from
ambient PM2.5 exposure in India.</span></p>
