Description
The study quantified air quality in different microenvironments in rural Bhutan, for the first time in this mountainous country. The findings clearly demonstrated significant air pollution problems in the microenvironments investigated, originating from diversity of indoor and outdoor sources, and indicating that rural residents in Bhutan are being exposed to high concentrations of multiple pollutants.
The outcomes of the study are of significance in informing policy formulation not only in Bhutan, but also in other developing countries, particularly for Himalayan nations given the shared geographical zones and common cultural and social practices.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
