This collection of articles shows the health problems caused by domestic fuel shortage. The ones hit hardest are women. In the articles there is not only attention for indoor air pollution from cooking with biomass. Other health issues are also taken up, such as fuel availability affecting cooking habits and food availability, which can affect nutritional status. Attention is also given to health impacts of restricting poor communities access to natural resources, to the linkages between fuel, food, water, women's time and health, and to linkages between women's work and status through an illustration of women's dung-work.
