We will return the first Thursday of January 2022!!! -o-Twitter: https://twitter.com/EverythingisPHPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/everythingispublichealth  Email: EverythingIsPublicHealth@gmail.com         Support the show

The type of air pollution that's easier to picture. Millions of people around the world are still using biomass and kerosene for cooking and heating, and the health impact of these burning sources causes premature deaths around the world.
