Subject area	Environmental health, Exposure science, Air pollution epidemiology
More specific subject area	Household air pollution, Cooking and heating with clean and polluting fuels and technologies, Household solid fuel use, Indoor air quality / pollution
Type of data	.xls spreadsheet
How data was acquired	Systematic search of PubMed and Science Direct literature and manual data extraction from identified studies from 1981 to 2016
Data format	Analyzed
Experimental factors	Please include a brief description of preparation (required)
	A literature search using PubMed (National Library of Medicine and National Institute of Health) and the Science Direct (Elsevier) search engines was used to identify suitable publications. Articles were scanned for eligibility based on existence of quantitative HAP measurements. Relevant data was extracted and entered into the database.
Experimental features	Please include a brief description of the data features (required)
	Qualitative information includes cooking environment descriptions (e.g. primary cooking fuel type, stove type, heating fuel type and kitchen location), monitoring period (e.g. 24, 48 h), monitoring method (e.g. gravimetric, light scattering). Quantitative information includes cooking area concentrations and personal exposure measurements for PM and CO.
Data source location	Data available from 43 countries across Asia, Africa, Central/South America, and, to a lesser extent, Europe and North America
Data accessibility	Data is with this article and available at the World Health Organization Global HAP Measurements Database: http://www.who.int/airpollution/data/hap-measurements/en/
