WDP mainly focuses on cook stove users especially mother and child health. Currently WDP as part of its mandate is undertaking investigation and compliance monitoring of indoor air pollution. However indoor air pollution exposure levels and health monitoring in vulnerable groups like children and women is yet to be conducted. These areas are of interest to WDP as no significant study has been done in this area. The situation could be alarming since the majority of Bangladesh's rural inhabitants use poorly constructed stoves, firewood and agricultural residue as energy sources.
