Air pollution: inside our homes

We think of air pollution we think cars and factories, but an article that I found online "Indoor Air Pollution" on http://econ.worldbank.org/WBSITE/EXTERNAL/EXTDEC/EXTRESEARCH/EXTPROGRAMS/EXTIE/0,,contentMDK:21311106~menuPK:4228103~pagePK:64168182~piPK:64168060~theSitePK:475520,00.html, website, and I thought it was interesting. It basically enlightens us about the hardship that families in developing nations are going through. One million children die every year in these developing countries due to the smoke that is created from the burning of wood and other bio fuels to cook. This is happening inside their homes, that is the scary part.
