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
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Challenges in the diagnosis of paediatric pneumonia in intervention field trials: recommendations from a pneumonia field trial working group.

TL;DR: A working group is created to provide recommendations regarding study design and implementation and to prioritise active hospital-based pneumonia surveillance over passive case finding or home-based surveillance to reduce the risk of non-differential misclassification of pneumonia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of mucociliary clearance among women using biomass and clean fuel in a periurban area of Chennai: A preliminary study
Johnson Priscilla,R. Padmavathi,Santu Ghosh,Preetha Paul,Sitalakshmi Ramadoss,Kalpana Balakrishnan,Vijayalakshmi Thanasekaraan,A S Subhashini +7 more
TL;DR: This simple noninvasive, inexpensive, screening test can be used as an early indicator of respiratory damage caused by exposure to air pollutants in women using biomass fuel users and clean fuel users.
