Health Ailments of Rural Women Community Using Biomass Fuel and their Socio- Cultural Practice Socio- Economical Constraints | Chapter 8 | Research Aspects in Biological Science Vol. 4

 

 The research of the disparity in health metrics, socioeconomic limitations, and sociocultural trends among women who use biomass fuel has been described in this article. The use of biomass fuel has long been linked to environmental and health issues. Asthma, TB, COPD, cataracts, low birth weight, and even cancer have been the subjects of the majority of earlier studies in this field that have concentrated on respiratory health and ocular disorders. Researchers found that smoking and health issues are of utmost importance. The burning of various fuels results in the production of a significant amount of hazardous chemicals. Carbon monoxide is produced in huge quantities when biomass fuel is burned. Being exposed to carbon monoxide for an extended period of time can be lethal. A rural resident's secondary occupation to farming is animal rearing. It has been established that making cow dung cakes is a sociocultural practise. The usage of easily available natural fuel has been noted as an old, natural social habit, regardless of their awareness of the detrimental impact on their health. The current study examined rural women's health while also taking into account their sociocultural practises and economic circumstances. For assessing health state, haematological and immunological indicators were used.
