*The Article in International Development magazine states that,
"Although smoke from cooking fires kills 1.6 million a year, the promlem
is not an international priority . . ."
"I*nternational development charity, Practical Action has developed a
number of simple, low-cost solutions to reduce exposure to smoke. For
example it has researched the design of “smoke hoods”, which are made
locally from either galvanized iron or mud. These stand over the cooking
fires and channel 75 per cent of the smoke up a metal chimney and high
above the corrugated-iron roof.!
