Indoor Air Pollution and Respiratory Diseases in Rural Areas of North and Northeast Brazil
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Indoor pollution is a risk factor for several diseases, especially those affecting the respiratory system. In Brazil, the use of solid fuels for cooking is still very present. The smoke emitted in the environment by the burning of solid fuels is causing such pollution, and the poorest families are the most affected. The objective of this research was to study the association between respiratory diseases (bronchitis and asthma) and the use of solid fuels among inhabitants of rural areas of the North and Northeast regions of Brazil. The database used was the 2008 National Household Sample Survey (PNAD/IBGE), and the analyzes involved estimations through the Logistic regression. The results showed that women exposed to indoor pollution had a higher odd of having bronchitis or asthma. This effect was not significant in the case of men. This work indicates a path for the implementation of public policies aimed at raising public awareness about the health damages caused by the use of solid fuels and facilitating access to a cleaner source of energy for the low-income population.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
