Where does biomass smoke exposure commonly occur?

In industrial settings
During outdoor camping
In homes using solid fuels for cooking and heating
In urban public transportation

The correct answer is: In homes using solid fuels for cooking and heating

Biomass smoke exposure commonly occurs in homes using solid fuels for cooking and heating. This is because solid fuels such as wood, charcoal, and dung are commonly used for cooking and heating in many households, especially in developing countries. The smoke from these solid fuels can have harmful effects on health, leading to respiratory problems and other diseases. While biomass smoke exposure can occur in industrial settings, during outdoor camping, and in urban public transportation, these are not as common as exposure in homes using solid fuels for cooking and heating. Thus, options A, B, and D are incorrect choices.
