Association of maternal ozone exposure with term low birth weight and susceptible window identification

Qiong Wang et al.

Summary: Ozone exposure during the second trimester was found to be associated with an increased risk of term LBW in a retrospective cohort study conducted in Guangzhou. Monthly ozone exposure during the 4th-6th month (O-3-1 h) and the 6th month (O-3-8 h) was also correlated with LBW risk. Critical exposure windows were identified at the 15th-26th gestational weeks for O-3-1 h exposure and the 20th-26th weeks for O-3-8 h exposure, suggesting a potential vulnerability during these periods.

Women's empowerment and household fuel use in 31 African countries: a cross-sectional analysis of households in the Demographic and Health Survey

Daniel B. Odo et al.

Summary: Access to clean and affordable energy is essential for health, well-being, and socio-economic development in Africa. Women's empowerment is associated with higher odds of using clean fuels for cooking, which can contribute to accelerating the transition to clean energy sources in the region, although the associations vary between countries.

Spatial patterns of lower respiratory tract infections and their association with fine particulate matter

Aji Kusumaning Asri et al.

Summary: This study identified significant spatial patterns and hotspots of LRIs globally, with a consistent positive association between LRIs and PM2.5. Subgroup analysis revealed significant effects of PM2.5 on LRI for children and the elderly, except for regions comprising Eastern Mediterranean countries.

A Systematic Review and Appraisal of Epidemiological Studies on Household Fuel Use and Its Health Effects Using Demographic and Health Surveys

Daniel B. Odo et al.

Summary: The use of polluting fuels in domestic combustion leads to approximately 3 million premature deaths each year and contributes to climate change. Studies using DHS data to analyze the association between cooking fuel use and health outcomes show potential for high risk of bias, particularly related to confounder control and outcome ascertainment. Suggestions for improving DHS data collection to reduce bias in studies of household fuel use and health are provided based on the findings.

Biomass fuel use and acute respiratory infection among children younger than 5 years in Ethiopia: a systematic review and meta-analysis

H. D. Enyew et al.

Summary: This study aimed to estimate the magnitude of acute respiratory infection (ARI) among children under 5 years old in Ethiopia and its association with biomass fuel use, gender, housing conditions, and cooking practices. The results showed a significant association between biomass fuel use and ARI, as well as other factors such as gender, lack of kitchen window, non-separated kitchen, and carrying the child while cooking. Measures such as improved solid fuel stoves, advanced combustion designs, windows or chimneys, and separating the kitchen from the main house are needed to reduce ARI in under-five children.

Ambient particulate matter (PM1, PM2.5, PM10) and childhood pneumonia: The smaller particle, the greater short-term impact?

Xu Wang et al.

Summary: The study suggests that PM1 has a greater short-term impact on childhood pneumonia compared to PM2.5 and PM10. Both boys and girls are susceptible to the effects of PM1, while PM2.5 and PM10 primarily affect boys. Children aged 0-12 months and 1-4 years are impacted by PM1, while PM2.5 and PM10 are associated with children aged 1-4 years.

A Cross-Sectional Analysis of the Association between Domestic Cooking Energy Source Type and Respiratory Infections among Children Aged under Five Years: Evidence from Demographic and Household Surveys in 37 Low-Middle Income Countries

Zubaidah Al-Janabi et al.

Summary: The study examined the association between solid biomass usage and the risk of acute respiratory infections in children, finding that children in households using solid biomass for cooking had a higher probability of ARI and ALRI. Switching household cooking energy sources from solid biomass to cleaner alternatives could benefit respiratory health in children globally.
