Household air pollution from, and fuel efficiency of, different coal types following local cooking practices in Xuanwei, China
2021, Environmental PollutionCitation Excerpt :Despite being associated with the highest cancer rates in Xuanwei (Wong et al., 2019), samples from deposit 9 did not have the highest levels of PM2.5 or PM0.1 (Table S4; Table S8). These findings may imply that particle loading alone does not explain the excessive risk, and that there may be additional factors such as particle bonded chemicals or gaseous chemicals which are associated with the excessive lung cancer risks (Hu et al., 2014; Chen et al., 2005; Mumford et al., 1989; Mumford et al., 1990). Organic extracts of the emission particles from smoky coal combustion in Xuanwei have been shown to be the most active in tumor initiation (Mumford et al., 1990).

2017, ChemosphereCitation Excerpt :Xuanwei and Fuyuan are located in the northeast of the Yunnan province in China. High lung cancer rates have been reported in Xuanwei since the 1980s (Mumford et al., 1987, 1989). It has been suggested that the high lung cancer prevalence is associated with local bituminous coal combustion pollutants (He et al., 1991; Lan et al., 2001, 2004, 2008; Tian, 2005; Tian et al., 2008).
Comparison of air pollutant emissions and household air quality in rural homes using improved wood and coal stoves
2017, Atmospheric EnvironmentCitation Excerpt :In China, 36% of primary PM2.5 and 53% of BC originate from residential fuel combustion (Shen et al., 2013; Wang et al., 2012; Huang et al., 2014). People in areas relying on solid fuel use often suffer from heavy household air pollution (HAP) (Ezzati et al., 2000; Albalak et al., 2001; Mumford et al., 1989). Exposure to HAP has been recognized as a major environmental risk factor that is responsible for many respiratory and cardiovascular diseases and premature deaths (Lee et al., 2012; Zhang and Smith, 2007; Forouzanfar et al., 2015).
