  1. Note: Predictor variables were used in Equation 1 as follows E { log P M 2.5 } = β 0 + β F 1 I Fuel = Kerosene + β F 2 I ( Fuel = Dung ) + β F 3 I ( Fuel = Wood ) + β K 1 I Kit = SOK + β K 2 I ( Kit = IWPK ) + β K 3 I ( Kit = IWOPK ) + β V 1 I Vent = Moderate + β V 2 I ( Vent = Poor ) + β CH ( Cooking hours ) + β R 1 I Reg = East + β R 2 I ( Reg = West ) + β R 3 I ( Reg = South ) (1)
  2. SOK Separate outdoor kitchen, IWPK Indoor kitchen with partitions, IWOPK Indoor kitchens without partitions, Vent ventilation, Reg region. Reference categories included LPG for fuel, outdoor cooking for kitchen, good for ventilation and South for region.
