Clean cooking fuel and good ventilation saves from lung disease

According to a new study conducted at Guanzhou Medical University, China published in scientific journal PLOS Medicine have observed that the Improved cooking fuels and the kitchen ventilation is linked with the better lung function and also reduced risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. To conduct this study the researchers gave 1000 participants from 12 different villages the access to biogas and better kitchen ventilation facilities and people also adopted these interventions.
