Assessment of Traditional and Improved Stove Use on Household Air Pollution and Personal Exposures in Rural Western Kenya We examined kitchen and personal concentrations of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and carbon monoxide (CO) for six different improved cookstoves (ICS). Mean 48-hour PM2.5 and CO concentrations for ICS were reduced compared to TCS, but still exceeded WHO air quality guidelines. Multiple factors (e.g., kerosene use, stove stacking, fuel moisture, acceptability) contributed to heterogeneity in our results.
