Testing health impacts in adults from smoky, arsenic-exposed homes
Part of Heart & circulation, Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study follows adults who took part in an earlier GEOHEALTH study and live in homes that use traditional stoves, with low-to-moderate arsenic exposure in drinking water. It aims to understand how these environmental factors affect health, and what changes might be possible.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You took part in the previous GEOHEALTH round-I study
- You are 25 to 70 years old
- You live in a home that uses traditional stoves and burns biomass (like wood/coal)
- You do not smoke, and no one you live with smokes
- Your drinking water arsenic level is below 10 micrograms per liter
- You do not have an immune-related illness and you are not on prescription medicines that affect the immune system

This study tests if switching to cleaner LPG gas stoves and adding kitchen fans can reduce indoor air pollution and improve your heart and lung health. You would be asked to use a new stove and fan, and we will check your health over time.
This study looks at how different levels of outdoor air pollution may affect heart and lung health, and how a person’s socioeconomic situation and nutrition might change the risk. You may be asked to do health checks and help the team understand your usual diet and symptoms.
This study looks at how much people with long-term lung diseases know about climate change, heat waves, air pollution, and physical activity. It will help doctors understand how these factors affect your health and how to better support you.
This study looks at whether using HEPA air filters and monitoring indoor air can improve heart-related health and blood sugar/metabolic health in older adults. You may be eligible if you live in Los Angeles County, don’t smoke, and meet the health and home requirements.
This study tests a new way to improve the air quality inside your home and how it affects your health. Researchers want to learn if better air quality helps older adults feel better and stay healthier.
This study tests whether public health campaigns (like informational materials and community outreach) help reduce lead exposure in homes located in areas with documented lead risk. Researchers will visit your home, answer questions about your environment, and do blood tests to measure lead levels before and after the campaign.
