These produce biogas that can be used for lighting, cooking and generating electricity.
Magnetrons have a wide range of output powers from those used in microwave ovens for cooking, which generate 600 to 1,000 watts, to special ones capable of generating pulsed power levels up to 1,000,000 watts.
The team created a new type of toilet system which turns human waste into biogas - which can be used for cooking and generating electricity - and biodiesel.
A complete data series of households mainly using solid fuels for cooking was generated for 150 countries using hierarchical modeling from 1980 to 2010 [see Supplemental Material, Tables S2 S4 (http://dx.doi.org/10.1289/ehp.1205987)].
Besides environmental tobacco smoke, which leads to well-documented exposures and effects, indoor sources such as cooking can generate high concentrations of PM indoors both in residences and commercial settings (Levy et al. 2002).
A cooking stove that generates off-grid electricity.
Further, because it burns the fuel inefficiently, cooking this way generates toxic smoke in large quantities, causing indoor air pollution and leading to health problems like early cataracts, respiratory disease and 1 million deaths every year in India.
Fuel burning for cooking and heating generates very high indoor concentrations of airborne particulate matter (PM), benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), and other organic compounds.
Cooking with oils generates UFP, but we were not able to distinguish effects of food consumption from inhalation of aerosolized oil and found no literature that addressed this issue [ 19].
A clean-burning cooking stove that also generates electricity (The Score-Stove™) was modified to enable evaluations to take place in 3 regions of Bangladesh.
