Note. Emission rates could not be estimated due to lack of information on fuel burn rates for stoves reported. Smith et al. (2000) reports using a 10-wick stove, Oahn et al. (2002) report fuel consumption for 8-wick stove at 0.104–0.12 kg h−1, and Habib et al. (2008) report 0.2 kg h−1 for an unspecified stove type. All reported studies used a variation of the water boiling test (Bailis et al. 2004). n, Number of measurements.
