Influence of local airflow on the pollutant emission from indoor building surfaces.

abstract：UNLABELLED:Acute lower respiratory illnesses (ALRI) are the leading cause of death among children <5 years. Studies have found that biomass cooking fuels are an important risk factor for ALRI. However, few studies have evaluated the influence of natural household ventilation indicators on ALRI. The purpose of this stud...
