His other products include Fish scale remover machine (Rs 350), Multi dryer (Rs 8,000), Multi-diamond stove (Rs 2,700), Multi Chulah (Rs 450 and Cooking-cum-drying
biomass stove (Rs 13,000).
(2012) observed a higher coefficient of determination for [PM.sub.2.5] versus CO emissions from
biomass stoves compared with nonbiomass stoves during Water Boiling Tests (see Figure S4).
For cities in the middle of the transition--when prices have risen to the level of modern fuel substitutes, such as oil or natural gas--a greater emphasis is warranted on transition fuels such as kerosene and charcoal, and on improved
biomass stoves. Finally, in the later stages of the transition, policies that encourage the use of modern fuels by the urban poor are important.
Larger measures such as solar roof panels, a
biomass stove and even a wind turbine, are also under consideration for the future.
A
biomass stove is any stove used to heat a home, or water within the home, with at least a 75 percent thermal efficiency rating.
Improved
biomass stove intervention in rural Mexico: impact on the respiratory health of women.
The IRS announced it would offer a 30 percent consumer tax credit (up to $1,500) for the purchase and installation of a 75 percent-efficient
biomass stove. And for several states, such as Virginia, many of these stoves qualify for tax free purchasing.
Some models were run after creating indicator variables for any
biomass stove, any kerosene stove, and any gas stove, combining comparable primary and secondary stove types.
1301) compared CO exposures and urinary PAH biomarkers before and after installation of an improved
biomass stove in homes of a subsample of Mexican women participating in a randomized control trial study.
OBJECTIVE: We compared CO exposures and urinary PAH biomarkers pre- and postintervention with an improved
biomass stove, the Patsari stove.
All 18 participants who had reported their main cookstove as being a
biomass stove were found to be correct, as were the five reporting use of a LPG stove.
This temporal feature indicates that applying a crude proxy for exposure (e.g., whether or not using a
biomass stove) would overlook large house-to-house differences in pollutant concentrations and exposures.
