TL;DR: A randomized intervention study to evaluate a Clean Development Mechanism approved stove replacement impact on fuelwood usage, and climate and health-relevant air pollutants finds absorbance-to-mass ratios suggest a higher proportion of black carbon in PM2.5 emitted from intervention compared with traditional stoves.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the characteristics and redox activity of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) associated with roadside trash burning in Bangalore, India, and showed high variability of chemical composition and toxicity between trash-burning emissions, and characteristic differences from ambient samples.

TL;DR: Some evidence of an association between exposure to black carbon and acute increases in systolic blood pressure in Indian women cooking with biomass fuels is found, which may have implications for the development of cardiovascular diseases.

TL;DR: In this article, a model for the in-traffic exposure of bicyclists to black carbon (BC) was proposed based on spectral evaluation of mobile noise measurements and validated with BC measurements in Ghent, Belgium.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present results of an emission characterization effort, completed as part of a larger intervention trial, of a carbon-finance-approved program replacing traditional cookstoves with "rocket"-style natural draft stoves.
