简要总结
This study will evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of a household-based clean air intervention
详细描述
A clean air intervention will be implemented in each household, including HEPA- based air filtration, solar lighting, and education. The air filtration system will be cycled monthly, with active filtration alternating with no filtration for one month on/one month off. To determine the effect of the clean air intervention within the household, PM2.5 concentration during each cycle and lung function will be measured among household members.
