Rajan Chakraborty, a scientist at the University of Washington in St. Louis, has done a detailed study of Indian villages.
In his research in this area of Chhattisgarh, he noted that carbon and other black particles from raw stoves installed inside houses accumulate in the respiratory tract, including clothes and walls. This has serious health consequences.
The stove also burns crop dung, cow dung, wood and sawdust, which also causes greenhouse gases. Thus, it is proving to be dangerous for both the environment and human beings.
The study found black carbon particles to be extremely harmful. In this regard, the team of experts conducted more than 30 tests of different types in the Chhattisgarh area in which the effects of different fuels were also observed.
