An article presented information on various pulmonary characteristics in samples of children whose households in India used either biomass fuel or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). For the 758 children in biomass households, the sample mean peak expiratory flow (a person's maximum speed of expiration) was 3.9 L/s, and the sample standard deviation was 1.2.
