New HAPIN pub alert! In Guatemala, Rwanda, India, and Peru, we measured blood pressure (BP) and exposure to PM2.5, BC, and CO on 368 adult women. We found significant associations (p=0.03) between short-term exposure to BC and PM2.5 and increased BP. Read the full story here: https://bit.ly/46XHWOu

On #WorldFoodDay, we celebrate food’s power to connect and nourish us. For many families, cooking food can also compromise household air quality. Expanding access to clean, affordable cooking options supports both health and the environment. #CleanCooking #HealthAndClimate

Women serve as primary food producers across the world, especially in rural areas. Spending the most time in the kitchen results in rural women being exposed to more harmful IA pollutants from burning of biomass. Rural Women’s Day celebrates the work these women do as providers.

Are you curious about how #blackcarbon affects climate and what role #cleancooking can play? Last week, @UKMECS blogged about the key differences between #blackcarbon and #CO2e and how our sector can approach accounting for #blackcarbon reductions. https://bit.ly/4nrOKuF

It’s Intl Day of Clean Air for Blue Skies. Poor IAQ from use of biomass fuel for cooking/heating is a leading cause of health issues in LMICs. Black carbon and particulates emitted from burning biomass harms our blue skies, today we honor efforts to reduce emissions for clean air

Thank you to the AERLIFT Technical Advisory Committee for participating in our first of many meetings focused on air pollution monitors and exposure metrics! It was wonderful to connect and receive feedback from industry experts to improve the robustness of our study.
