TLDR
In this article, the authors used comparative risk assessment methods to quantify the ischemic heart disease, stroke, lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and lower respiratory infection-related morbidity and mortality attributable to personal fine particulate matter (PM2.5) exposure due to kerosene-based lighting for residents of East Africa in 2015.

Techno-Economic Feasibility of Off-Grid Renewable Energy Electrification Schemes: A Case Study of an Informal Settlement in Namibia

Aili Amupolo, +3 more
- 09 Jun 2022 - 
TL;DR: In this paper , a comparison between the deployment of solar home systems to each residence and the supplying power from either a centralized roof-mounted or ground-mounted hybrid microgrid is presented, and the results show that a hybrid system comprising a solar photovoltaic, a diesel generator, and batteries offers the lowest net present cost.

Assessing flexibility for integrating renewable energies into carbon neutral multi-regional systems: The case of the Chilean power system

Pedro Vargas-Ferrer, +3 more
- 01 Oct 2022 - 
TL;DR: In this article , the authors present a methodological framework for designing the long-term transition of a multi-regional energy system towards a low carbon emission system, characterized by a high penetration of non-conventional renewable energy sources (NCRE) and the use of CSP-TES, BESS and electricity transmission settings for providing effective levels of operational flexibility.

Bounding the role of black carbon in the climate system: A scientific assessment

Tami C. Bond, +30 more
- 16 Jun 2013 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provided an assessment of black-carbon climate forcing that is comprehensive in its inclusion of all known and relevant processes and that is quantitative in providing best estimates and uncertainties of the main forcing terms: direct solar absorption; influence on liquid, mixed phase, and ice clouds; and deposition on snow and ice.

Global burden of 87 risk factors in 204 countries and territories, 1990–2019: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019

Christopher J L Murray, +2272 more
- 17 Oct 2020 - 
TL;DR: The largest declines in risk exposure from 2010 to 2019 were among a set of risks that are strongly linked to social and economic development, including household air pollution; unsafe water, sanitation, and handwashing; and child growth failure.

An Integrated Risk Function for Estimating the Global Burden of Disease Attributable to Ambient Fine Particulate Matter Exposure

Richard T. Burnett, +21 more
- 11 Feb 2014 - 
TL;DR: A fine particulate mass–based RR model that covered the global range of exposure by integrating RR information from different combustion types that generate emissions of particulate matter is developed.

Global estimates of mortality associated with long-term exposure to outdoor fine particulate matter

Richard T. Burnett, +54 more
- 18 Sep 2018 - 
TL;DR: PM2.5 exposure may be related to additional causes of death than the five considered by the GBD and that incorporation of risk information from other, nonoutdoor, particle sources leads to underestimation of disease burden, especially at higher concentrations.

Addressing Global Mortality from Ambient PM2.5

Joshua S. Apte, +3 more
- 16 Jun 2015 - 
TL;DR: This analysis uses high-resolution (10 km, global-coverage) concentration data and cause-specific integrated exposure-response functions developed for the Global Burden of Disease 2010 to assess how regional and global improvements in ambient air quality could reduce attributable mortality from PM2.5.
