Abstract
A joint policy brief by WHO and the University of Liverpool reveals that clean cooking fuels are far more effective than "improved" biomass stoves at reducing harmful pollutants. While biomass stoves reduce fine particulate matter (PM2.5) by about 50%, the PM2.5 levels still exceed WHO interim targets. Clean fuels, however, cut PM2.5 by 85%, often meeting or surpassing air quality standards.
