While our study underscores the importance of reducing household air, our findings challenge the belief that such pollution significantly impacts fetal growth. Our findings suggest the link between household air pollution and poor fetal growth may be less pronounced than assumed.

Our findings do not support the use of unventilated liquefied petroleum gas stove and fuel delivery intervention as a strategy to reduce poor fetal growth in resource-limited settings. https://t.co/hSNuWX1j6V
