Objective:

Obtain climate-relevant data from in-field measurements of household stoves and rural small-scale industries, using a combination of real-time measurements, chemical characterization, and statistical analysis.

Progress Summary:

In the third year of this project principal activities focused on analysis of samples collected, data cleaning and database building, and writing up of results. Activities also focused on refining equipment with some limited comparison testing in an independent stove combustion laboratory. Results were presented at six conferences and at the EPA project meeting in NC.

Future Activities:

Analysis and writing up of results will continue during the coming year.
