Abstract

Indoor air pollution becomes a public health hazard across the world. It originates from different sources such as the use of unclean fuel in developing countries for cooking, heating, and lighting purposes. Their use results in incomplete combustion. Carbon monoxide and other toxic gases are the primary result of incomplete combustion and can cause respiratory tract problems. Children and women who spent a large portion of their time indoors are the most vulnerable subpopulation.
