    • Summary: Median post-randomization exposures of PM2.5 in the intervention arm were lower by 66% compared to controls. Post-intervention PM2.5 exposures in the intervention arm were at the lower end of what has been reported for LPG and other clean interventions, with 69% of PM2.5 samples falling below the WHO Annual Interim Target 1.
