Journal ArticleDOI
Exposure assessment for respirable particulates associated with household fuel use in rural districts of Andhra Pradesh, India.
Kalpana Balakrishnan,Sankar Sambandam,Padmavathi Ramaswamy,Sumi Mehta,Sumi Mehta,Kirk R. Smith +5 more
TL;DR: Concentrations were significantly correlated with fuel type, kitchen type, and fuel quantity, and among solid fuel users, the mean 24-h average exposures were the highest for women cooks and were significantly different from men and children.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exposures to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and birthweight in a rural-urban, mother-child cohort in Tamil Nadu, India.
Kalpana Balakrishnan,Santu Ghosh,Gurusamy Thangavel,Sankar Sambandam,Krishnendu Mukhopadhyay,Naveen Puttaswamy,Arulselvan Sadasivam,Padmavathi Ramaswamy,Priscilla Johnson,Rajarajeswari Kuppuswamy,Durairaj Natesan,Uma Maheshwari,Amudha Natarajan,Gayathri Rajendran,Rengaraj Ramasami,Sathish Madhav,Saraswathy Manivannan,Srinivasan Nargunanadan,Srinivasan Natarajan,Sudhakar Saidam,Moumita Chakraborty,Lingeswari Balakrishnan,Vijayalakshmi Thanasekaraan +22 more
TL;DR: The study provides some of the first quantitative effects estimates for linking rural‐urban PM2.5 exposures and birthweight in India, adding important evidence for this association from high exposure settings in LMICs, that also experience dual health burdens from ambient and household air pollution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Causal inference methods to study nonrandomized, preexisting development interventions.
Benjamin F. Arnold,Ranjiv Khush,Padmavathi Ramaswamy,Alicia G. London,Paramasivan Rajkumar,Prabhakar Ramaprabha,Natesan Durairaj,Alan Hubbard,Kalpana Balakrishnan,John M. Colford +9 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that matched cohort designs can estimate impacts from nonrandomized, preexisting interventions that are used widely in development efforts, and Interpreting the impacts as causal requires stronger assumptions than prospective, randomized studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Air pollution from household solid fuel combustion in India: an overview of exposure and health related information to inform health research priorities
Kalpana Balakrishnan,Padmavathi Ramaswamy,Sankar Sambandam,Gurusamy Thangavel,Santu Ghosh,Priscilla Johnson,Krishnendu Mukhopadhyay,Vidhya Venugopal,Vijayalakshmi Thanasekaraan +8 more
TL;DR: This work provides an overview of important available information on exposures and health effects related to household solid fuel use in India, with a view to inform health research priorities for household air pollution and facilitate being able to address air pollution within an integrated rural–urban framework in the future.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in rural women of Tamilnadu: implications for refining disease burden assessments attributable to household biomass combustion
Priscilla Johnson,Kalpana Balakrishnan,Padmavathi Ramaswamy,Santu Ghosh,Muthukumar Sadhasivam,Omprakash Abirami,Bernard W. C. Sathiasekaran,Kirk R. Smith,Vijayalakshmi Thanasekaraan,A S Subhashini +9 more
TL;DR: With concomitant indoor air pollution measurements, it may be possible to increase the resolution of the association between biomass use and COPD prevalence and refine available attributable burden of disease estimates.
