Air pollution from cooking fires, tobacco a serious health hazard
VIENTIANE (Vientiane Times/ANN) – Household air pollution from both cooking fires and tobacco is highly prevalent; nearly three-quarters of all households surveyed reported exposure to smoking in the home and exposure to indoor cooking fire smoke.
When multiple sources of exposure are evaluated together, a third of all households reported household level exposure to both secondhand smoke from tobacco and smoke from indoor cooking fires.
