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.
