1. GAS STOVE
ORISSA

2. WHY GAS STOVE??
• Indoor air pollution emitted from traditional fuels
and cooking stoves is a potentially large health threat
in rural regions.
• Survey of traditional stove ownership and health among 2,400
households in rural Orissa. We find a very high incidence of
respiratory illness.
• About one-third of the adults and half of the children in the
survey had experienced symptoms of respiratory illness in the
30 days preceding the survey, with 10 per cent of adults and
20 per cent of children experiencing a serious cough.

3. • We find a high correlation between using a traditional stove
and having symptoms of respiratory illness
• The use of these fuels is considered a major risk factor for
lung cancer as well as cardiovascular and respiratory disease
• The indoor air pollution(IAP) from biomass fuels and
traditional cooking stoves may be a serious health
threat, particularly to women and young children who spend
a considerable amount of time near the cooking stove.
• It is estimated that indoor air pollution accounts for one-third
of ARI cases and that ARI accounts for up to 20 per cent of
deaths among children under the age of five.
