Abstract

The article investigates the carbon monoxide exposures in temazcals, a wood-fired bath used in the rural highlands of Guatemala for bathing and healing. Data were gathered from 288 participants in 72 temazcals and participated in the Randomized Exposure Study of Pollution Indoors and Respiratory Effects (RESPIRE) chimney stove intervention trial. The article found that temazcal exposures were extremely high, averaging 431 parts per million.
