Colorado mountain towns along Interstate 70 face a range of public health restrictions during a traditionally busy holiday time for visitors during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Some counties are in the Level Orange, a high-risk category on the state’s COVID-19 dial, while some are in Level Red, a severe-risk category. Others are now operating in hybrids between the two.
Reason for concern: 3.8 billion people (49% of the global population) still rely on traditional energy sources to support household needs such as cooking, heating, and lighting. Due to this, household air pollution is a top-ten risk factor for global morbidity and mortality.
This webinar will provide a summary of research findings from STAR Grant RD83543801 “Quantifying the climate, air quality and health benefits of improved cookstoves: An integrated laboratory, field and modeling study” and related, ongoing research at Colorado State University.
The study featured a unique approach to integrate multi-level laboratory and field emissions testing and exposure monitoring that fed into indoor exposure and global air quality and climate models. Field measurements were conducted, with the support of local partners, in China, India, Kenya, and Honduras. Join us to gain insights on the implications of study results to improve air quality management decisions and climate evaluation.
