PCIA Bulletin (click for list of Bulletin issues and content descriptions) This quarterly newsletter provides updates on the activities of the Partnership for Clean Indoor Air and its Partners around the world, and facilitates awareness about issues related to indoor air pollution, household energy and health. The Bulletin is published in PDF format. If needed, you can download the current version of Adobe Acrobat reader free from Adobe's website. PCIA Design and Performance Guidance The Partnership for Clean Indoor Air has made available draft design and performance guidance for public comment. These guidelines are the product of the PCIA workshop held in early 2004 in Seattle, Washington, to establish broad design and performance principles for home cooking and heating practices that can be used by a wide range of organizations worldwide. The workshop was held in conjunction with the annual conference of Engineers in Technical and Humanitarian Opportunities of Service-learning (ETHOS). Household energy and indoor air pollution experts gathered to: define the terms "clean," "efficient," "affordable," "reliable," and "safe" as they relate to home cooking and heating practices; identify best practices; and establish design and performance guidelines. In order for these guidelines to take into account the vast experience of household energy implementers around the world, USEPA is soliciting comments.

Household Energy, Indoor Air Pollution and Health Country Overviews Winrock International has compiled household energy, indoor air pollution and health overviews of China, Drawing largely on existing literature and insights from in-country partners, the reports have been co-authored by household energy and health specialists experienced with each country. The authors aimed to compile the most salient information available to help frame the context for possible synergies between the energy and health sectors; at the same time, the authors recognize the greater complexity of the household energy and health arena, including the importance of programs and actors from other sectors (environment, education and rural development, among others). Although the reports are not comprehensive in this sense, it is hoped that as partners of PCIA, you will find the compiled information useful for your own work. The reports are available in PDF format. You can download the current version of Adobe Acrobat reader from Adobe's website. We welcome feedback and in particular will appreciate knowing what aspects of these reports you find most useful and why. Please send us your comments! PCIAonline@yahoo.com.
