To monitor air pollution in different relevant living environments with various types of stoves, we selected households with
construction and stove characteristics that were typical of the study area. Participation was voluntary. Three traditional tents, one advanced tent, one stone house, and one simple house were selected for measurement of indoor BC and PM2.5 concentrations.Each household was measured on separate days for 9.8 and 17 h, on average, for BC and for PM2.5, respectively.
