Aside the emissions, burning of wood in traditional cookstoves (TCs) also generates substantial amount of ashcontaining hazardous pollutants such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and toxic metals. But, theirconcentrations in the ash, particularly in Africa where over 70% of the population utilize TCs, remain unknown.Here, we determined concentrations of sixteen PAHs and eleven heavy metals in ashes from twelve differentAfrican TCs, comprising six three-stonefires (TSFs) and six built-in-place cookstoves (BIPCs), burning commonAfrican wood species under real world situation.
