1/ 🎤 Today's PHPS forum was on "Lessons from smoky kitchens: Unveiling the hidden burden from wood-fuelled cooking in sub-Saharan African schools" #PublicHealth 🗣️ Speakers: Dr Esther Kalkman & Prof Dan Pope 💨 Featured work by NIHR CLEAN-AIR (Africa) Global Health Research Unit: cleanairafrica.com

Talk title: Lessons from smoky kitchens: Unveiling the hidden burden from wood-fuelled cooking in sub-Saharan African schools

Abstract: In 90% of sub-Saharan African schools, meals are prepared on polluting wood stoves, posing a major health risk to staff and learners. Our latest research from schools in Rwanda and Kenya has found dangerously high levels of air pollution from wood-fuelled cooking, highlighting serious health concerns for millions of school populace. Using clean fuels like LPG and electricity in schools, as recommended by the WHO, can protect cooks, children, and the environment. Our global health research partnership calls for urgent action to accelerate the transition to clean cooking in schools and aims to support such transitions with impact evidence (health, education and environment) that can inform policy on the most effective solutions.

Speaker: Dr. Esther Kalkman is a health and environmental scientist and a postdoctoral researcher at the NIHR CLEAN-Air (Africa) Global Health Research Unit.

About CLEAN-Air(Africa)

The NIHR CLEAN-Air(Africa) Global Health Research Unit is a collaboration of international experts in environmental public health from the UK, Kenya, Cameroon, Tanzania, Rwanda, and Uganda. The partnership implements research, health systems strengthening, and capacity-building activities across the five focus countries with the explicit objective to address the health burden from household and institutional air pollution from reliance on polluting solid fuels (e.g., wood, charcoal, coal, and biomass) and kerosene.

CLEAN-Air(Africa) aims to provide policy-relevant evidence to raise population awareness of the issue and to support prevention through the transition to clean fuels and energy for cooking.

CLEAN-Air(Africa): Main Aims

To facilitate transition for vulnerable communities and public institutions to clean cooking to address health, environment, climate and gender impacts from reliance on polluting fuels.

To evaluate chronic and hidden additional health burdens from household air pollution that can be addressed through clean cooking.

To advocate for disease prevention from reductions in air pollution through national clinical and community health systems strengthening.

Investing in the future; to develop a sub-Saharan African Air Pollution Centre of Excellence through capacity building, training and investment.

Maximising impact through community and stakeholder engagement.

Key activities under CLEAN-Air(Africa)

The Unit builds on research, capacity and health systems strengthening initiated under the NIHR CLEAN-Air(Africa) Global Health Research Group in Cameroon, Kenya and Ghana. The Group was launched in 2018 and has achieved significant impact since this time in three key areas to address the global public health burden from reliance on polluting solid fuels and kerosene for household energy.

Exposure to household air pollution: Using state of the art monitoring equipment to quantify adult and child health impacts from exposure to air pollution from cooking with polluting fuels.

Transition to clean cooking: Identifying and addressing barriers to cooking with clean fuels. Informing clean energy policy in sub-Saharan Africa.

Strengthening health systems: Training clinical and community health workforces in primary and secondary prevention of household air pollution.
