Dear Kevin,

Fortunately for the Tibetans they all use vented dung stoves.  Dung is
particularly smokey, especially the way they burn it for heating the
house and this pretty much forces them to either have a chimney or die
quickly.   In india though this is not the case and people are using
dung without chimnies.  We have not done any research on the different
emmisions from dung as this is a new piece of our research but would
love to hear from anyone who has.
