Over 1.5 million females die prematurely every year by inhaling poisonous fumes as they cook or heat their homes with these organic fuels but catch little attention from governments, policy experts, scientists and medical experts. my main goal in this paper is to talk about how these poor families especially woman and children are dying every year by this indoor air pollution that is produced by "Natural Ways" of cooking like using wood, leaves, etc. I'm planning to focused mainly on Asia and then talk about how the government neglect and forget about this people.

Final Topic
I decided to change my topic to "indoor air pollution- the killer in the kitchen". Women and young girls coughing and choking as they cook food over traditional stoves that burn wood, leaves or dung is a common a sight in poor homes across Asia, Africa and Latin America. Nearly half of the world continues to cook with solid fuels such as dung, wood, agricultural residues and coal. Smoke from burning these fuels gives off poisonous particles and chemicals that bypass the body’s defenses and more than doubles the risk of respiratory illnesses such as bronchitis and pneumonia.

Jeff--you are not answering the questions I put on Blackboard, such as Who's your audience? What motivated you to write on this? What are some of your sources? etc.
Comments: ASIA is too big a region--you need to narrow the place down a lot.
Also, you need to show what in this paper will be original as opposed to mere reporting.
