The objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of various interventions aimed at reducing the levels of indoor air pollution in homes that use biomass fuels in the rural and urban settings of Andhra Pradesh on the basis of health risks and reductions in greenhouse gas emissions by applying CHRA (comparative health risk assessment) procedures. The CHRA process seeks to rank various technological options available to reduce emissions and exposure so as to provide the basis for resource allocation for mitigating these problems.
