During the present investigation a substantial fall in mass concentration of particulate matter was seen in all indoor settings in comparison to winter time concentrations. Indoor concentrations were close to those outdoors. In the kitchens with biomass fuel and living rooms with smokers the concentrations were less than half the winter values. This is very likely due to the increased ventilation in the living rooms and cooking in outdoor kitchens. However, a rise in outdoor concentrations was seen in the summer which was most probably due the shift of the kitchens from indoors to outdoors along with dry weather accompanied with high temperatures and wind speeds.
