In Kusumpur Pahari, there were 317 children (142 wood and 175 kerosene), including 64 controls and 78 cases of ALRI in the wood fuel group and 81 controls and 94 ALRI cases in the kerosene group (p > 0.05).
Hundreds of porters carried the production's 5 tons of kerosene, 10 tons of rice and 4 tons of lentils.
Four mixtures of kerosene vegetable cooking oil (VCO) were prepared and evaluated, as follows: 100% kerosene (100 kerosene), 90%/10% kerosene VCO (90/10 KVCO), 75%/25% kerosene VCO (75/25 KVCO), and 50%/50% kerosene VCO (50/50 KVCO).

A similar observation has been reported for SEO biodegradation[43] as well as for kerosene degradation[62].
In all tests, the amount of the electrostatic charges of water, 0.12 0.83 μC/kg, was larger than that of kerosene, −0.04 to 0.16 μC/kg.
According to Enete and Alabi [18], distribution of household final energy consumption by type in Nigeria is electricity (4%), kerosene (13%), LPG (1%), and wood and others (82%).
The share of modern sources of household energy consumption includes 15.35% of kerosene, 0.28% of diesel and 4.75% electricity which account 20.38% of the total domestic energy consumption.
Firewood is the primary and major fuel (94.78 %) for cooking in all these villages, followed by agricultural residues (78.87 %), kerosene (55.85 %) and LPG (35.83 %).
The prices of cooking energy were determined for the cooking energy types considered in this study thus: wood N7 ($0.03)/kg; charcoal N35 ($0.15)/kg; kerosene N120 ($0.5)/L; LPG N280 ($1.2)/kg and electricity N43.91 ($0.18)/kWh.
In contrast to the report (Ferhat et al. 2011), Abouseoud et al. (2008) have reported diesel oil and kerosene (55 %) as the best substrates for emulsification and sunflower oil (45%%) as less efficient substrate for emulsification.
