Abstract
⺠Carcinogenesis in airway cells was examined in biomass and LPG using women. ⺠Metaplasia and dysplasia of epithelial cells were more prevalent in biomass users. ⺠Change in airway cytology was associated with oxidative stress and Akt activation. ⺠Biomass users had greater exposure to respirable PM, B(a)P and benzene. ⺠Cooking with biomass increases cancer risk in the airways via Akt activation.
