We examined acute health effects of short-term exposure to emissions from cooking and candles among asthmatics. In a randomized controlled double-blinded crossover study, 36 young non-smoking asthmatics attended three exposure sessions lasting 5 h (a) air mixed with emissions from cooking (fine particle mass concentration) (PM2.5 96.1 μg/m3 ), (b) air mixed with emissions from candles (PM2.5 89.8 μg/m3 ), and c) clean filtered air (PM2.5 5.8 μg/m3 ). Health effects (spirometry, fractional exhaled Nitric Oxide [FeNO], nasal volume and self-reported symptoms) were evaluated before exposure start, then 5 and 24 h after. During exposures volatile organic compounds (VOCs), particle size distributions, number concentrations and optical properties were measured. Generally, no statistically significant changes were observed in spirometry, FeNO, or nasal volume comparing cooking and candle exposures to clean air. In males, nasal volume and FeNO decreased after exposure to cooking and candles, respectively. Participants reported additional and more pronounced symptoms during exposure to cooking and candles compared to clean air. The results indicate that emissions from cooking and candles exert mild inflammation in asthmatic males and decrease comfort among asthmatic males and females. To provide insight into the everyday realities facing care aides working in long-term residential care (LTRC), and how they perceive their role in society. A qualitative ethnographic case study. Data were collected over. 10months of fieldwork at one LTRC setting [September 2015 to June 2016] in Western Canada; semi-structured interviews (70h) with 31 care aides; and naturalistic observation (170h). Data were analysed usi
