Background: Household air pollution is a major contributor to cardiovascular disease burden in women in Sub-Saharan Africa. However, little is known about exposures during pregnancy or the effect of clean cooking interventions on postpartum blood pressure trajectories.
Methods: The Ghana Randomized Air Pollution and Health Study (GRAPHS) randomized 1414 non-smoking women in the first and second trimesters to liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) or improved biomass stoves - vs control (traditional three-stone open fire).
Systematic assessment of the achieved emission reductions of carbon crediting projects.
Nat Commun
November 2024
Group for Sustainability and Technology, ETH Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland.
Article Synopsis
- Carbon markets are essential for climate strategies, allowing project developers to earn carbon credits through mitigation efforts.
- A review of 14 studies showed that only about 16% of the carbon credits from these projects represent real emission reductions, with varying effectiveness across different types of interventions.
- The findings suggest that major reforms are necessary for carbon crediting mechanisms to effectively contribute to climate change mitigation efforts.
Exposure to indoor air pollution using biomass among rural households in Southern Ethiopia.
Arch Environ Occup Health

Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, Kharagpur, India.
Most rural households in Ethiopia depend on traditional cooking fuels. The inefficient combustion of those fuels significantly raises health concerns by exposing them to indoor air pollution. This study aimed to assess the factors contributing to indoor air pollution exposure in rural households.

Department of International Health, Johns Hopkins University, Bloomberg School of Public Health, 615 N. Wolfe Street, Baltimore, MD, 21205, USA.
Introduction: We assessed the impact of a personal agency-based training for refugee women and their male partners on their economic and social empowerment, rates of intimate partner violence (IPV), and non-partner violence (NPV).
Methods: We conducted an individually randomized controlled trial with 1061 partnered women (aged 18-45) living in a refugee camp in Rwanda. Women received two days of training, and their partners received one day of training.
An umbrella review of health co-benefits from actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Lancet Planet Health
April 2024
Centre on Climate Change and Planetary Health, London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, London, UK.
Background: There have been many modelled studies of potential health co-benefits from actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but so far there have been no large-scale attempts to compare the magnitude of health and climate effects across sectors, countries, and study designs.
Methods: As part of the Pathfinder Initiative project an umbrella review of studies was done, and 26 previous reviews were identified with 57 primary studies included. Studies included in the review were required to have quantified changes in greenhouse gas emissions and health effects (or risk factors) from defined actions to reduce climate effects.
