Background: Particulate matter (PM) air pollution from the household combustion of solid fuel (e.g., coal, biomass) for cooking and heating is a widespread environmental exposure that causes an estimated 4 million yearly premature deaths and contributes to global and regional climate change. PM from different sources varies in its physicochemical properties, which may differentially impact its toxicity to humans and determine its net radiative forcing effect on the climate. Little is known about PM's composition or toxicity in different global contexts where solid fuels are burned for cooking and heating. Methods: I first conducted a literature review of studies that reported on the chemical composition and/or sources of PM in field setting...
