Biography
Karrar AFI belongs to the Department of Nnatomy, Redsea University Faculty of Medicine, Port Sudan, Redsea State, Sudan.most intrstrested subjects Household air pollution [HAP], is a global issue and is at its highest levels among households that use biomass fuels for cooking. The major source of HAP in developing countries is the use of biomass fuels for cooking and heating in poorly ventilated dwellings.

Objective: Questionnaires were used to assess levels of household air pollution [HAP], defined as inhalation of smoke from biomass fuels. Women and their children in developing countries are at higher risk of HAP exposure due to the disproportionate time spent indoors exposed to smoke from biomass fuels used for cooking. HAP contains multiple substances including [CO], which attaches to red blood cells causing hypoxia. CO combined with other inhaled substances such as particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5), can lead to poor respiratory health among the affected households. Monitoring of HAP has traditionally measured the [CO] exposure within the living environment; however exposure in dwellings may not accurately measure an individual’s exposu... view more»
