The Struggle to Breathe: Tackling Clay Oven Air Pollution

The video discusses the dangers of indoor air pollution from traditional stoves, which increase the risk of respiratory infections and pneumonia. A new, more efficient stove is introduced, which emits fewer harmful particles. The video details the process of measuring emissions from an old stove and compares it to the new stove, which shows a significant reduction in particulate matter. The new stove is made of clay, an insulator, making it more efficient and reducing smoke production. The health benefits, particularly the reduction in pneumonia cases among children, are highlighted. Community leaders express support for adopting the new stove to improve public health.
