This article assesses the impact of improved chulhas on indoor air quality in comparison to traditional chullhas. The indoor air pollutants were the by-products of burning of fuel woods like neem, babul and mango in modified stoves. The emission of air pollutants was significantly reduced in improved chulas in comparison to traditional chulas. On an average there was 70% reduction in sulphur-di-oxide, 85% in formaldehyde and 15% in nitric oxide, except in one where 30% nitric oxide reduction was recorded. Toxicity screening carried out in bacterial test system. reveals that the suspended particulate matter collected on the filter mat was less toxic in case of improved chulas compared to the traditional chulas. |
