Abstract

Household air pollution remains a dominant health risk, particularly in South Asia. Increasing international attention has focused on improved cookstoves (ICS) as a vehicle for reducing household air pollution, regional environmental and climate impacts. This analysis of ICS adoption adds to the limited literature informing cookstove dissemination programs. In a sample of households from Odisha, India, we find households with ICS have higher socioeconomic and educational status, while households with only a traditional stove spend more money on fuel and more time in hospitals treating respiratory disease.
