Additionally, we hope to conduct additional continuous measurements of other air pollutants, such as CO and CO2, to better
understand the combustion condition and combustion process in Tibet. Conducting an epidemiological study on indoor smoke
exposure and related health outcomes within the region in households with and without a chimney will enhance our understanding of health impacts due to indoor air pollution. This type of information is so far unavailable for high altitude regions like Tibet, where there are much higher heating needs similar to many other high elevation developing areas using biomass fuels.
