Situation Analysis of Household Energy Use and Indoor Air Pollution in Pakistan (2005)
Department of Community Health Sciences of the Aga Khan University, Pakistan and World Health Organization review of the situation of household energy use and indoor air pollution in Pakistan.

Indoor air pollution (IAP) is not a recognized environmental hazard at policy level, therefore, generally less efforts have been made in this regard so far in Pakistan. No legislation governs the indoor air concentrations of hazardous substances at household level in Pakistan A few governmental, non-governmental and academic institutions are working to improve IAP, however on a small scale. Intervention studies such as on improved stoves were introduced on a small scale which indicates positive results. Also there is a network of institutions working on renewable energy technology, again on a small scale.
