rhap: A tool to analyze health impacts attributable to household air pollution

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Recent evidence highlights household air pollution as a significant health risk, particularly in the Global South.However, its impacts are frequently overlooked in the integrated assessment models widely used for global scenario analyses.Alternative scenarios with diverse socioeconomic pathways or climate policies could reshape access to affordable clean energy, particularly for low-income groups, directly impacting household air pollution.
