preliminary evaluation of safety aspects of neem oil in Kerosene Lamp
Indian journal of malariology, 1996Co-Authors: Neena Valecha, M A Ansari, S Prabhu, R K RazdanAbstract:: Kerosene Lamps containing one per cent neem oil were used for mosquito repellent action in a village near Delhi. The safety aspects of this personal protection method developed by Malaria Research Centre were evaluated by animal studies and clinical examination of population before and after exposure. Single application of neem oil (1%) did not produce skin irritation in rabbits and adverse effect on guinea pigs after exposure to aerosol. Clinical examination of 156 adults and 110 children did not reveal any major adverse effects after one year of exposure to 1% neem oil.

operational feasibility of malaria control by burning neem oil in Kerosene Lamp in beel akbarpur village district ghaziabad india
Indian journal of malariology, 1996Co-Authors: M A Ansari, R K RazdanAbstract:: A field trial in Beel Akbarpur village, Dadri PHC, District Ghaziabad (U.P.) was carried out to test the impact of burning neem oil in Kerosene Lamp from dusk-to-dawn in living rooms on vector populations and incidence of malaria. Results revealed that burning 1% neem oil in Kerosene Lamps resulted in the deviation of An. culicifacies from living rooms to cattlesheds. This was also reflected when malaria incidence was compared in experimental and control villages. Cases/000 and Pf/000 were 1.03 and 0.0 in experimental village as against 9.6 and 4.3 in control village. Discontinuation of burning 1% neem oil in Kerosene Lamp resulted in recurrence of An. culicifacies in living rooms and increase in malaria incidence in experimental village.

use of Kerosene Lamp containing synthetic pyrethroids to repel mosquitoes
Indian journal of malariology, 1993Co-Authors: V P Sharma, M A Ansari, R K RazdanAbstract:: An indigenous and appropriate method of personal protection was developed and tested in rural areas. It consists of an ordinary Kerosene Lamp made of tin with a regulator to adjust the wick. Different concentrations of esbiothrin, a synthetic pyrethroid, were mixed in Kerosene and allowed to burn in living rooms and cattlesheds from dusk to dawn to observe hourly entry of mosquitoes. The tin Lamp (100 ml capacity) without chimney provided the most efficient protection from mosquito bites. The protection varied from 84.2 +/- 8.2 to 97.8 +/- 2.8. Maximum protection was observed against An. culicifacies. Esbiothrin Kerosene Lamp (0.01%) lighted in living room provided 99.7% protection to exposed human baits seated at a distance of 1 m from the Lamp. The technique is simple, cost-effective and does not require electricity and can be used both for illumination and repelling mosquitoes in remote and inaccesible areas.

Public financing of solar lanterns versus subsidizing Kerosene for domestic lighting in India: A feasibility assessment
Renewable Energy, 2015Co-Authors: Mohammed Yaqoot, Parag Diwan, Tara Chandra KandpalAbstract:In India, Kerosene is primarily used for domestic lighting in un-electrified rural households. The government incurs significant expenditure on subsidies and under-recoveries associated with supply of Kerosene distributed through public distribution system. In addition to poor illumination and indoor pollution, Kerosene Lamp usage necessitates expenditure on purchase of Kerosene for lighting. The study evaluates the feasibility of diverting subsidies and under-recoveries provided by government and the fuel cost incurred by the user to finance replacement of Kerosene Lamps with solar lanterns. It is found that such an initiative will save money for both the government as well as the users besides providing better quality illumination without any indoor pollution.

exposure reductions associated with introduction of solar Lamps to Kerosene Lamp using households in busia county kenya
Indoor Air, 2018Co-Authors: G Muhwezi, F Isabirye, K Harrison, Ilse Ruizmercado, E Amukoye, T Mokaya, M Wambua, M N BatesAbstract:: Solar Lamps are a clean and potentially cost-effective alternative to polluting Kerosene Lamps used by millions of families in developing countries. By how much solar Lamps actually reduce exposure to pollutants, however, has not been examined. Twenty households using mainly Kerosene for lighting were enrolled through a secondary school in Busia County, Kenya. Personal PM2.5 and CO concentrations were measured on a school pupil and an adult in each household, before and after provision of 3 solar Lamps. PM2.5 concentrations were measured in main living areas, pupils' bedrooms, and kitchens. Usage sensors measured use of Kerosene and solar lighting devices. Ninety percent of baseline Kerosene Lamp use was displaced at 1-month follow-up, corresponding to average PM2.5 reductions of 61% and 79% in main living areas and pupils' bedrooms, respectively. Average 48-h exposure to PM2.5 fell from 210 to 104 μg/m3 (-50%) among adults, and from 132 to 35 μg/m3 (-73%) among pupils. Solar Lamps displaced most Kerosene Lamp use in at least the short term. If sustained, this could mitigate health impacts of household air pollution in some contexts. Achieving safe levels of exposure for all family members would likely require also addressing use of solid-fuel stoves.
