Survey evidence from rural North India showing persistent solid fuel use despite increases in liquefied petroleum gas ownership is presented. Although three-quarters of survey households in these states had LPG, almost all also had a stove that uses solid fuels. Among those owning both, almost three-quarters used solid fuels the day before the survey. Household economic status, relative costs of cooking fuels, gender inequality, and beliefs about solid fuels were important contributors to high solid fuel use. To realise the full health benefits of the LPG expansion, attention must now be turned towards encouraging exclusive LPG use.
来自印度北部农村地区的调查证据表明，尽管液化石油气的拥有量有所增加，但固体燃料仍在持续使用。这些邦四分之三的受访家庭拥有液化石油气，但几乎所有家庭也都有使用固体燃料的炉灶。在同时拥有这两种炉灶的家庭中，近四分之三的家庭在调查前一天使用的是固体燃料。家庭经济状况、烹饪燃料的相对成本、性别不平等以及对固体燃料的观念是导致固体燃料高使用率的重要因素。为了充分实现扩大液化石油气使用所带来的健康效益，现在必须将注意力转向鼓励独家使用液化石油气。
