Cleaner cooking and ventilation for better heart and lung health
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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 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.
This study tests whether using air purifiers can improve health by reducing pollution from nearby traffic. Participants will receive air purifiers for their homes and answer questions about their health.
This study looks at how breathing in tiny particles from cooking (called ultrafine particles) affects your health in the short term. You'll be asked to do simple tasks in a special room, and the results could help us understand the health effects of everyday cooking.
This study gives clean-burning induction stoves to families in Cambodia that don't already have one. It aims to see if switching to electric cooking improves health and the environment.
This study tests whether replacing gas stoves with portable electric appliances can improve indoor air quality and help control asthma. If you join, you'll get the electric appliances and your asthma symptoms will be monitored.
This study tests a new air cleaning device to see if it improves health in older adults. It may help if you are concerned about indoor air quality and want to reduce your exposure to pollutants.
