here, I had to increase the salary of my maid so she could buy LPG gas for cooking because I got tired of treating her son for respiratory infections.
About three billion people around the world live in households that regularly burn wood, coal or other solid fuels to cook their food. Solid fuels emit very high levels of pollutants, especially very small particles that can penetrate deep into the lungs. Typically, these households are found in the rural areas of low- and middle-income countries. Although China is rapidly urbanizing, one third of its population still relies on solid fuels.
In Africa, they tended to cook outside, but in cold weather, they heated the huts with wood fires, so we saw not only respiratory illness in kids but severe burns from accidents.
