Effects of indoor air pollution on household health: evidence from Turkey.

Indoor air pollution caused by the use of biomass energy in heating and cooking adversely affects the health status of household members. In Turkey, with the rapid economic growth of the last decade, biomass has been among the most consumed types of household energy for heating and cooking due to inadequate infrastructure, dependence on foreign energy, and high energy prices. This study aims to add empirical evidence to the literature on health status and indoor air pollution in Turkey caused by households' energy choices.
