Question

Which of the above are released into atmosphere due to the burning of crop/biomass residue?

Answer 1

Answer:

Burning biomass releases carbon dioxide.

Answer 2

Answer:

Burning agricultural crop or biomass residue results in the release of greenhouse gases, air pollutants, particles, and smoke, endangering human health.

Explanation:

• Burning crop residues or biomass is the cheapest and simplest way to get rid of residual agricultural residues (such as those from harvested wheat, rice, sugarcane, and other crops) for pest control and land clearing.
• Burning crop wastes is a widely used method of getting rid of debris after harvesting.
• Burning these residues releases gases that have an impact on the chemistry and climate of the entire planet, including sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), black carbon (BC), organic carbon (OC), methane (CH4), volatile organic compounds (VOC), non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHCs), ozone (O3), and aerosols.
• Burning crop leftovers and other biomass has an impact on human health in addition to the atmosphere's air quality and climate.
