Association between biomass cooking fuels and prevalence of tuberculosis among households: a cross-sectional study from 2019 - 2021 in India

The study reaffirms the polluted household environment owing to the usage of solid biomass-based cooking fuel in the household, in addition to the other multiple risk factors such as house type, rooms available in the house, use of tobacco, etc., which are strongly associated with TB. A combined effort of governmental and non-governmental organizations is required to spread awareness about the ill effects of using biomass-based cooking fuels.
