Uganda: Monitoring of Rocket Wood Stove

2006 - 2007

IAP and fuel use monitoring activities were undertaken by UGASTOVE (formerly UCODEA) with training and support from the Berkeley Air team for the purpose of assessing the impact of the UGASTOVE rocket wood stove on IAP levels, emissions, and fuel use in households in semi-urban Kampala. The investigation included both wood and charcoal stoves, but more attention was given to measuring the impact of the charcoal stoves, because of fuel use patterns relevant to the region.

This work was performed when Berkeley Air was a part of the School of Public Health at UC Berkeley, under the name CEIHD.
