Where Indoor Smoke Kills People?

The smoke created by burning wood or similar forms of biomass contains tiny particles that penetrate many of the most sensitive regions of a person’s lungs. Long term exposure to those particles can cause acute lower respiratory disease, pulmonary disease, cancers and other illnesses. These dangerous air-borne particles are frequently found in concentrations more than twice the minimum amount considered dangerous in poor households that rely on biomass stoves for heat and cooking.
