Our evaluation of #schools converting to #cleancooking comprises #airpolllution monitoring of school kitchens, catering staff and learners. Students in #Rwanda are eager to wear our measuring equipment and to learn about the health damaging effects of kitchen smoke.

Around 3 billion people globally still rely on solid fuels. On #WorldEnvironmentDay, we echo that switching to #CleanCooking fuels and energy can significantly reduce household air pollution, safeguard health, prevent deforestation, and combat climate change. #SustainableLiving

Burns and scalds from household fuel use in Africa are preventable yet represent a significant burden. @CleanAirAfrica is raising awareness through burn surveillance in #Uganda, #Kenya, and #Cameroon. Recently, surveillance launched at KIRUDDU NATIONAL REFERRAL HOSPITAL with Makerere University Lung Institute partners.
