Datasets for the impacts of global solid fuel cookstove emissions on air quality and human health

Overview

We quantify the impacts of global solid fuel cookstove emissions on air quality and human health, by employing the NCAR CESM CAM5-Chem model at the horizontal resolution of 0.9 degrees latitude by 1.25 degrees longitude as well as integrated exposure response functions in combinations with the most recent 2017 Global Burden of Disease. We run two sets of CAM5-Chem model simulations: (1) the control model simulation with anthropogenic emissions from IIASA GAINS ECLIPSE V5a for the year 2010 (hereafter referred to as CRL2010); (2) one sensitivity simulation identical to CRL2010 but with global solid fuel cookstove emissions off (referred to as GBLBF2010). The differences between CRL2010 and GBLBF2010 are the net impacts of global solid fuel cookstove emissions.
