Liquefied Petroleum Gas or Biomass Cooking and Severe Infant Pneumonia
Eric McCollum, director of the Global Program of Pediatric Respiratory Sciences at Johns Hopkins, discusses “Liquefied Petroleum Gas or Biomass Cooking and Severe Infant Pneumonia” — his recent publication in The New England Journal of Medicine. The research for this publication is important because household air pollution from biomass fuels during cooking is a major risk factor for severe infant pneumonia in middle income and low income countries. This large trial was conducted in India, Peru, Guatemala and Rwanda, with participation of 3,200 women who were pregnant.
