Biomass Burning

Biomass burning refers to the combustion of biological materials such as wood, crop residues, and other organic matter for energy or land clearing. This process releases pollutants, including carbon dioxide, methane, and particulate matter, into the atmosphere. While biomass burning can provide energy and aid in land management, it also contributes to air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, impacting climate change and air quality. It is a common practice in many parts of the world, especially where alternative energy sources are limited. Proper management and cleaner technologies are essential to minimize its environmental and health impacts.
