Sensor-Based Methods for Characterizing Technology Impact in Low-Resource Settings
… this system is used to evaluate wheelchairs, improved cookstoves, and evaporative coolers. The wheelchair case study in Indonesia compares the performance of different wheelchairs ranging in cost from $100 to $300 and finds little variation between improved wheelchairs in frequency of use and …

Characterization of carbonaceous aerosols from biofuel combustion: emissions and climate relevant properties
… emissions from different combustion activities. Improved cookstoves reduce emissions by eliminating formation of OC with high SSA, which occurs at low combustion efficiency. In the laboratory a large part of emission is missing for particles with greater SSA which generally produces under low …

Multi-Scale Studies to Develop a Holistic Understanding of Solid Fuel Combustion at Residential Scale
… coal, and dung cakes, are burned in inefficient cookstoves. They generate products of incomplete combustion (PIC), such as CO, particulate matter (PM), and CH4, causing household air pollution (HAP) whose adverse impacts on both health and the environment have been well established.</p><p>HAP …
