Question

what are adverse effects of using during cakes and wood as fuel​

Answer 1

Answer:

Cow dung cakes are perhaps the cheapest burning fuel they use for purposes of cooking. However, burning of dung cakes causes serious health problems. According to health experts, the smoke released in the burning process contains hazardous gases. Studies show that by inhaling these, people suffer from diseases. There are specially made chulhas or stoves for using of dung cakes. Usually these cakes consist of groundnut husk; paddy straw is also used. When the cakes are burnt, dangerous gases are released, which is then inhaled by people. “Typically, poor women are victims of these toxic gases. They have no alternative to dung cakes and thus they are forced to use them,” points out Shanthkumar, technical guide.
