The Effects of Household Air Pollution (HAP) on Lung Function in Children: A Systematic Review

The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that around 3 billion people today are exposed to smoke from the household combustion of solid fuels. While the household use of solid fuels has decreased over the last few decades, it remains a leading modifiable risk factor for the global burden of dis...
