Building a Better Cook Stove for the World’s Poor (1/2)

Breathing smoke from cooking stove stoves or open fires is a common cause of lung infections in developing countries. Indoor air pollution is blamed for an estimated 4,000 death deaths every day, mostly women and children. A non-pofit group based in the American state of Kalarado Colorado is working to save lives. Researchers at Envirofit International have developed a clean-buring cook stove that uses less fuel and reduces smoke. They say it cuts the smoke and dangerous gases by up to 80%, compared to open fires or simple tranditional traditional stoves. The cook stove was designed to produce the greatest amout amount of heat in the shortest demand amount of time and with the least amount of fuel. It can burn wood, anmial animal waste,or crop waste. The Shell Foundation has formed partnership with Envirofit to market the cook stoves. The British charity ,established by the Shell Group in the year 2000, has invested 10 million dollars in a parlit pilot project for India. B.H. at Envirofit tells us that as many as 10 million stoves will be sent to southern India by the end of this year. She says the stoves are being manufactured in China and will begin arriving in May.

在发展中国家，人们呼吸着燃气灶或者篝火里的油烟，是肺结核的一种常见诱因。室内空气污染每天将导致大约4，000人死亡，这其中大部分是女人和孩子。在美国科罗拉多州建立的一个非赢利组织正致力于挽救这些人的生命。全球环境利益的研究者研制除了一种净燃的燃气灶，该燃气灶使用较少的燃料，产生较少的油烟。他们宣布相比较于篝火和简单的传统燃气灶，它可以使油烟和危险汽油减少至80%。此款燃气灶被设计成在最短的时间，用最少的燃料，产生最大的热量。它可以燃烧木块，动物排泄物或者谷物壳。壳类基金和全球环境利益达成合作关系，共同把净燃燃气灶推向市场。由壳类集团在2000年创建的英国慈善组织，已经在印度的飞行员工程中投资100亿美元。全球环境利益的B.H告诉我们多达100亿的净燃燃气灶将今年底被运到印度南部，而且这种燃气灶也在将从5月开始在中国生产。
