W = margin of error By considering a 10% non-response rate, the sample size was 422 households. However, due to the use of a multistage sampling procedure, the final sample size was 844. Regarding the sampling procedure, four kebeles (the smallest administration unit) from each town were selected randomly, and the study households were selected by using a systematic random sampling technique (k≈40) (Figure 1). After selection, the household head (father or mother) or, if he or she was unavail...

−1), which is consistent with the results in HepG2 cells (0.2–2 mg·mL −1), 55 but promoted cell proliferation at low concentrations in vitro. Notably, the cell viability was greater than 60% when the CS-CD concentration was less than 4.5 µg•mL −1, which may be desired (regeneration, neurogenesis, etc.) or undesired (tumours and cancers) cell proliferation. Because the type of cell proliferation is unknown, it is difficult to determine whether toxicity is high or low. Further study o...
