Brief description Around the world each year household air pollution causes 4.3 million deaths. Mothers, babies and children, who spend the most time at home are extremely vulnerable. The impact on pregnant women has not been accurately measured despite it being known to be as dangerous as smoking. The best method to reduce household air pollution is to use stoves that reduce emissions. We will conduct a large trial of cleaner cooking stoves and measure the impact on pregnant women.
