Indoor spatial monitoring of combustion-generated pollutants (TSP, CO, and BAP) by Indian cookstoves

OSTI ID:6085637
This dissertation focusses on indoor concentrations of pollutants (TSP, carbon monoxide and barium phosphide) emitted by Indian cookstoves. Experiments in a simulated village hut (SVH) determined size distribution of particulates from burning of fuelwood and cowdung, and investigated the effects of fuel, ventilation condition and sampling location on TSP, CO, and BaP concentrations; 84 to 99 % of the total particulate mass in wood and dung smoke had aerodynamic diameter less than 3.2 micro, which eliminated the need for particle-size discrimination sampling. These experiments finalized the field sampling protocol. The field survey included 291 households in three central and two south Indian villages. The kitchens had either thatched or tiled roofs with a variety of volumes and open spaces on the walls. Fixed monitoring was done at roof, medium, and low levels close to stove or chula (cemented to floor) and personal sampler on the cook-monitored air in her breathing zone.
