Description
Background
Household air pollution from solid fuel burning is a leading contributor to disease burden globally. Fine particulate matter () is thought to be responsible for many of these health impacts. A co-pollutant, carbon monoxide (CO) has been widely used as a surrogate measure of in studies of household air pollution.
Objective
The goal was to evaluate the validity of exposure to CO as a surrogate of exposure to in studies of household air pollution and the consistency of the relationship across different study settings and conditions.
Methods
We conducted a systematic review of studies with exposure and/or cooking area and CO measurements and assembled 2,048 and CO measurements from a subset of studies (18 cooking area studies and 9 personal exposure studies) retained in the systematic review. We conducted pooled multivariate analyses of associations, evaluating fuels …
