Abstract

The purpose of the Indoor Air Pollution and Exposure Database is to provide the scientific community a concise overview of measured household indoor air pollution levels in about 250 communities extracted from 71 studies published between 1968 and 2002. This working database is structured so that the independent interviewer can extract and analyze findings within and across studies. This database includes publications with measurements in all developing countries except those before 1995 already found in the China Database. The database has been prepared by Sumeet Saksena and Lisa Thompson, under the supervision of Kirk R. Smith and was partly supported by the World Health Organization and the Fogarty International Center.
