Abstract
Indoor air pollution, caused by the combustion of four biofuels (fuelw ood, dung cakes, agri-residue, and a mixture of fuelwood and dung cake s) in a traditional and an improved mud cookstove (Sugam-II), has been studied. The concentrations of three gaseous pollutants (CO, NO2, HCH O) were measured at three different positions in the indoor environmen t. Results are presented and discussed.
