How big is small? Enough to not breathe oil! The Peruvian case of diesel-fuelled wick lamps for lighting
Presenter: Angel Verástegui Gubler, (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit – GIZ Energising Development Peru)
Rapporteur: Jonathan Lee
Overview
| Health risks due to indoor air pollution (IAP) from inefficient domestic burning processes for cooking or lighting are not breaking news. The presence of high levels of sulfur dioxide in burnt wood emissions from traditional cookstoves; its remaining high levels in the air after two hours from turning off the source; and the fact that this gets even worse with an oil-fuelled wick lamp that pollutes almost the same as a second traditional cookstove in the same room for at least one hour each day for 20% of the world´s population, maybe are. This paper shows first evidence from Peru´s rural context in the simultaneous lack of modern energy devices for lighting and cooking[1]. |
Main Issues Discussed
There has been much research into kerosene wick lamps, but diesel wick lamps widely used in Peru
PM 2.5, CO, and SO2 measured for cookstove burning only and cooking and lamps being used at the same time
Concentration of PM 2.5 are orders of magnitude higher than WHO recommendation. SO2 is higher than WHO level, and CO does not present a significant cost
A diesel wick lamp accounts for the pollution almost of a second cookstove
There is residual higher than WHO level PM 2.5 and SO2 exposure for 2 hours
Questions Posed
Usage of light varies with region. In the Andes, heat is desirable so a greater demand for conventional fuel than in the Amazon region. The type of fuel used and prices depends a lot on supply chains for other uses, such as diesel for logging.
Rural areas have higher demand for conventional fuel lighting. Alternatives are less available
What needs to be changed in policy in Peru? Engineering projects have a focus on large scale, technological thinking. Energy access needs to be viewed as a health and social issue like water instead of purely technologically and economically?
Were emissions measured or exposure? Exposure was indeed being measured. It is important to distinguish between the two.
How does the residual exposure compare to the exposure before devices turned on? Pollutants were measured for 30 min before, showed levels lower than after
How do other devices perform? Only two diesel wick lamps were tested. Are there other lamps that perform better or worse?
