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.
