TL;DR: In this article, the authors used field measurements taken simultaneously in- side rural households, ambient air and vehicular emissions from highways in a rural area in the Indo-Gangetic-Plains re-gion of India to establish the role of both solid biomass based cooking in traditional stoves and diesel vehicles in contributing to high BC and organic carbon (OC), and solar absorp- tion.

TL;DR: This work presents the first real-time in situ Black Carbon (BC) concentration measurements from five commercial ICs and a traditional (mud) cookstove for comparison, and reveals four significant findings about the tested stoves.

TL;DR: The leading risk factors contributing to global cancer burden in 2019 were behavioural, whereas metabolic risk factors saw the largest increases between 2010 and 2019.

TL;DR: It is suggested that efforts to increase adoption and use of ICS in rural India will likely require a combination of supply-chain improvements and carefully designed social marketing and promotion campaigns, and possibly incentives, to reduce the up-front cost of stoves.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the broad contours of the political economy of energy access in these countries and highlight the need for firm commitments, policy convergence, and the implementation of 'pro-poor' equitable energy policies through a broad-based energy framework of bench-marked, technology-neutral energy provisioning that ensures reliability and equity.
