Some previous epidemiologic evidence has indicated the beneficial effects of stove improvement as far as associated
reduced risks for lung cancer, pneumonia, and COPD in other rural areas in China following implementation,
which suggests that such an intervention may be viable [13]-[15]. Here, we report the results assessing
the effectiveness of the IAP intervention on reducing IAP and improving the health status in women in Hui
County of Gansu Province. We report the effects of the intervention on multiple indices related to IAP mitigation,
including changes in various symptoms of eye and respiratory diseases, measures of lung function, and assessment
of PM4 and CO levels in a representative sample of the households both before and after the intervention
period.
