dc.description.abstractThe study examined the relationship of pollutants resulting from biomass combustion and the risk of asthma in children under five years in Yopougon municipality. Household indoor air pollution associated with burning of biomass fuel for cooking and heating is responsible for 7 million deaths, within which are 543,000 deaths of children under 5 years old annually. In this study (as in many countries), children under 5 spend most of their time indoors. The International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood questionnaire was used with indoor and outdoor concentrations of PM2.5. Findings suggest that using butane gas will reduce air pollutants, along with risks of asthma related symptoms.en
