Abstract:
"This thesis focuses on how to improve quality of life for the bottom of the pyramid. Although this thesis does not emphasize on education, government and mitigation issues which are the underlying cause. Instead, the primary focus is on helping the undeserved communities achieve a better quality of life by reducing consequences given their economic and geographic state. The aim of this thesis is to develop a product that reduces toxic emissions produced while cooking and heating in order to reduce the number of deaths and health problems."
