Abstract
 

The release of inefficient stoves and solid fuels for heating and cooking is a clause of approximately 4 million premature deaths yearly. The cooking with biomass is very common, little information regarding kitchen characteristics and challenging on human health issue and an understanding of the effect and interaction of i.e. tobacco smoke in home as well as in offices is achieved. In many parts of our country the level of SOx, NOx,NH3 are becoming public health issue. As increasing investment are made to tackle this important public health issue, there is need for identifying and providing guidance on best practice for stove and exposure performance monitoring, particularly for health issue and evaluation studies. This review article includesdiscussion on indoor particulate matter pollution, different ways of sampling and their characteristics challenging. The material collected from different research paper published in various journals and from government reports.
