Exposure Contrasts of Women Aged 40-79 Years during the Household Air Pollution Intervention Network Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT: Exposure to household air pollution has been linked to adverse health outcomes among women aged 40-79. Little is known about how shifting from biomass cooking to a cleaner fuel like liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) could impact exposures for this population. We report 24-h exposures to particulate matter (PM_2.5), black carbon (BC), and carbon monoxide (CO) among women aged 40 to <80 years participating in the Household Air Pollution Intervention Network trial. 209 participants were randomized to the intervention and received an LPG stove and continuous fuel supply; controls used biomass (n = 209). Exposures were measured up to six times; we used mixed-effects models to estimate differences between intervention and control groups. Preintervention exposures between groups were
