1 Household Air Pollution: the Scope of the Problem The Health Impacts of Humanity s Oldest Occupation Kirk R. Smith Professor of Global Environmental Health University of California Berkeley
2 The Environmental Health Risk Transition Household, e.g. poor sanitation Severity Community, e.g. Urban Pollution Global, e.g. greenhousegas emissions Increasing Wealth Shifting Environmental Burdens Local Immediate Global Delayed Smith, 1990
3 Four points Why we do not call it indoor air pollution anymore Although poverty is the problem, poverty alleviation is not the answer Important role as a risk factor for NCDs in the poorest populations globally A fundamental shift in thinking about exposure-response for combustion mixtures
4 thousand years ago, hearths became a regular feature in human habitation On the earliest evidence for habitual use of fire Roebroeks and Villa, PNAS, 2011
5 Million Peope World Population Using Solid Fuels World Pop Solid Fuel Users
6 Biomass Cooking in History Today, ~40% use solid fuels, about 2.7 billion people Although the percentage is dropping, the absolute number is still rising. Indeed, there are more people using solid fuels today for cooking than the total world population in 1950 Or any year previously
7 A problem that has lasted one-third of a million years and is showing no sign of quickly going away by itself.
8 The three major solid fuels
9 Toxic Pollutants in Biomass Fuel Smoke from Simple (poor) Combustion Small particles, CO, NO 2 Hydrocarbons 25+ saturated hydrocarbons such as n-hexane 40+ unsaturated hydrocarbons such as 1,3 butadiene 28+ mono-aromatics such as benzene & styrene 20+ polycyclic aromatics such as benzo( )pyrene Oxygenated organics 20+ aldehydes including formaldehyde & acrolein 25+ alcohols and acids such as methanol 33+ phenols such as catechol & cresol Many quinones such as hydroquinone Source: Naeher et al, J Inhal Tox, 2007 Semi-quinone-type and other radicals Chlorinated organics such as methylene chloride and dioxin
10 Health-Damaging Air Pollutants From Typical Woodfired Cookstove in India. Typical Health-based Standards Wood: 1.0 kg Per Hour in 15 ACH 40 m3 kitchen Typical Indoor Concentrations Carbon Monoxide: 150 mg/m3 Particles 3.3 mg/m3 Benzene 0.8 mg/m3 1,3-Butadiene 0.15 mg/m3 Formaldehyde 0.7 mg/m3 10 mg/m3 0.1 mg/m mg/m mg/m3 0.1 mg/m3 Best single indicator IARC Group 1 Carcinogens
11 First person in human history to have her exposure measured doing the oldest task in human history How much exposure? Kheda District, Gujarat, 1981
12 ~70% use solid fuels Estimated PM2.5 Exposure for solid fuel using households USEPA Standard 15 ug/m3 WHO Guideline ug/m3 24 Hrs PM2.5 Concentration (mic.g/m3) ~285 ug/m3 average Unknown Preliminary result from CRA Balakrishnan et al.
13 ALRI/ Pneumonia Diseases for which we have epidemiological studies COPD Lung cancer (coal) These three diseases were included in the 2004 Comparative Risk Assessment Managed and published by WHO First ever comprehensive risk assessment with consistent rules of evidence and common databases

17 ALRI/ Pneumonia Low birth weight Stillbirth Diseases for which we have epidemiological studies COPD Lung cancer (coal) Lung cancer (biomass) Blindness (cataracts, opacity) CV disease Blood pressure ST-segment These diseases were included in the 2004 Comparative Risk Assessment These additional diseases are included in the 2011 Comparative Risk Assessment

20 Story of Two Conferences Air pollution conference High exposures to large vulnerable population No more health effects work needed International health conference Still doubt about causality Need to know exact benefit to be expected Where are your randomized controlled trials?
21 History of an RCT ~1980: Case reports of health effects in South Asia 1981: First measurements of pollution levels in India 1984: International meeting to decide on needed research Chose randomized controlled trial (RCT) of ALRI : Unfunded proposals to do RCT in Nepal 1990: WHO establishes committee to find best sites : Criteria established and site visits made 1992: Highland Guatemala chosen : Pilot studies to establish data needed for proposal does stove work and do people use it? : Unfunded proposals 2001: NIEHS funding secured : Fieldwork completed 2011: Main results published 25+ years from deciding to conduct RCT to results!

34 Kitchen concentrations down by 10x, but children exposure down by only 2x, because --Time-activity: the kids do not spend their entire day in the kitchen --Household (or neighborhood ) pollution: a chimney does not reduce smoke, but just shifts it outside into the household environment, where the difference between intervention and control households was less

42 Combustion Particles and their accompanying toxic side-kicks Cause more health damage than any other environmental contaminant Worst thing to do is stick burning stuff in your mouth ~5 million deaths Not so great to have other people sticking in their mouths nearby ~ 500k deaths Bad even to have poorly burning stuff in your city ~ 1 million deaths The oldest burning practice, however --poorly combusted fuels in the home -- is still the cause of more ill-health than any other particle source except smoking ~ 1.6 million deaths

46 What NCD risk factor is shared by all everyone in the bottom two billion? Diet (fat, etc.)? Physical inactivity (obesity, etc)? Smoking? Appropriate infectious agents? No, but there is one So ubiquitous, in fact, that it is one of the best quick indicators of poverty?
