Routine exposure to domestic cooking fuels is an important source of indoor air pollution causing deterioration of lung function. We conducted a community based cross-sectional study in 760 non-smoking rural women involved in household cooking with four types of cooking fuels i.e. Biomass, Kerosene stove, Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) and Mixed (combination of two and more cooking fuels). Peak Exp...

This paper applies an ordered discrete choice framework to model fuel choices and patterns of cooking fuel use in urban Indian households. The choices considered are for three main cooking fuels: firewood, kerosene and LPG (liquid petroleum gas). The models, estimated using a large microeconomic dataset, show a reasonably good performance in the prediction of households’ primary and secondary f...

In calling for a switch of fossil fuel subsidies to funding of universal health coverage, Vinay Gupta and colleagues (June, 2015) miss two health-relevant issues: all fossil fuels are not the same and all subsidies are not the same. Liquefi ed petroleum gas (LPG) has major, direct health advantages in household cooking in countries of low and middle income, its primary use. Indeed, the Global B...

The variability of in-cylinder combustion of gasoline at idle has been investigated previously, culminating in the development of a model relating the past and future indicated torque deviations from the mean at given engine operating conditions of intake manifold pressure, engine speed and spark advance. The developed model has the potential to be used in an idle speed control algorithm to imp...

Selain sebagai bahan bakar kompor gas, Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) dapat dimanfaatkan genset. Untuk kemudahan penyalaan genset yang menggunakan LPG, diperlukan campuran LPG dan udara tepat. Tujuan penelitian ini yakni menganalisis pengaruh terhadap awal 4 langkah. Metode digunakan dalam adalah metode eksperimen, yaitu menguji variasi laju aliran gas bukaan katup saluran udara. Laju 2 L/min, 3...

Liquefied Petroleum Gases [LPG] are flammable mixtures of gases such as propane and butane mainly which is transported stored in liquid phase storage vessels under amply pressure. These industrial processes high fire explosion hazard. When a vessel carrying LPG damaged, an abrupt drop pressure may release colossal quantities evaporating gas energy that has destructive effect on the itself its s...

This system aims to present a design that can automatically detect, alarm, and control gas leakage using an exhaust fan suck the away from premises where there is leakage. detects nature of LEDs (red green). The alarm gives sound when detected, sucks premise, Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) indicates performance at any distortion condition. Arduino UNO used as main controller system, buzzer means ...

Mobile sources are among the largest contributors of four hazardous air pollutants--benzene, 1,3-butadiene, acetaldehyde, and formaldehyde--in urban areas. At the same time, federal and state governments are promoting the use of alternative fuel vehicles as a means to curb local air pollution. As yet, the impact of this movement toward alternative fuels with respect to toxic emissions has not b...
