Improved Biomass Stove on Health of Rural Families | Chapter 4 | Research Advances in Environment, Geography and Earth Science Vol. 2

Inefficient combustion of solid fuels emits high concentrations of particulate matter (PM) and other harmful emissions. A strong association has been shown between household air pollution (HAP) and acute lower respiratory infections (ALRI) in children, and chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD) and lung cancer in adults. The magnitude of these adverse health impacts, household air pollution from burning solid fuels in primitive cook stoves is the primary environmental cause of death. The 2014 Global Burden of Disease Report (GBDR) found household air pollution to be the third most deadly global risk factor, accounting for about 4.3 million deaths annually (mainly due to cardiovascular and respiratory illnesses), and the second greatest risk factor in India (Improved biomass cook stove, 2014). Exploratory and experimentalStudy was conducted during the year 2016-17 Dharwad and Vijayapur districts of Karnataka state. Keeping this in view a study was conducted in two villages namely Timmapur Village of Dharwad district and Bhaganager village of Vijayapur district. 60 households were randomly selected from each village. Interview schedule was used. More than 90 percent of the respondents in both the villages were illiterate and majority of the respondents had breathing problems. A highly significant difference was found between improved biomass stove and traditional stove and also among women of both villages. This indicates that the benefits were more effective while using improved biomass stove as compared to traditional stove.

The Nexus of Natural Gas Consumption and Carbon Emission in Asia Pacific | Chapter 1 | An Overview on Business, Management and Economics Research Vol. 2

 This member aimed to determine the oil consumption and element emission in the middle revenue group of natural gas supplying nations in Asia Pacific, (China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar and Vietnam) during the ending 2000-2021 by applying the simultaneous equating analysis. Natural gas is a fossil fuel strength source. Natural gas holds many different compounds. The largest component of oil is methane, a compound with individual carbon bit and four hydrogen atoms (CH4). Natural gas also contains tinier amounts of natural gas liquids (NGLs, that are also hydrocarbon smoke liquids), and nonhydrocarbon gases, in the way that carbon dioxide and water vapor. We use oil as a fuel and to make fabrics and chemicals. According to the findings concerning this study, carbon emissions raise the legitimate exchange rate, people, and natural gas output while cutting down natural gas consumption. Furthermore, use of oil raises natural gas production, GDP per capita, and energy force. This report advises the government to produce clean and effective alternative energy in answer to natural gas demand for domestic and worldwide markets. Furthermore, in order to establish a equalized situation middle from two points human activities and natural assets, the government must transition from a oil energy structure to a clean energy system.

E-Waste Management in Northern Coimbatore, India: A Pilot Study | Chapter 03 | Research Developments in Science and Technology Vol. 5

 The electronic industry is the world's largest and fastest-growing manufacturing sector. E-waste is trash electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) that has been utilised as a product and has all of its pieces at the end of its life cycle. Most electronic devices, such as computers, cellphones, circuit boards, toys, cables, and so on, are often used, and purchasing a new product results in an increase in E-waste. People are unsure how to handle this discarded e-waste. The majority of people are unaware of the dangers that e-waste poses to human health and the environment. The study's goal is to find out how much people know about e-waste disposal and management. The research is based on preliminary work done in Coimbatore to assess the situation. E-waste awareness level Individual field trips, networks with individuals, and authentic records kept by the company were used to gather data on E-waste in Coimbatore. About the harmful level of E-waste, a questionnaire survey was created among consumers and recyclers. Finally, consider some E-waste reduction strategies.
