प्रश्न
Collect information about the types of fuels used for cooking in your area. Discuss with your teachers/parents/others which fuels are less polluting and why.
उत्तर
Types of Fuels Used for Cooking in My Area:
- Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG)
- Natural Gas
- Electricity
- Biogas
- Kerosene
- Firewood
Discussion on Less Polluting Fuels:
- LPG and Natural Gas burn cleanly, producing fewer particulates, carbon monoxide, and other pollutants than solid fuels like firewood and coal.
- Electricity: When generated from renewable sources (e.g., solar, wind), it is the least polluting option. However, if the electricity comes from coal or other fossil fuels, pollution is shifted to the power plant.
- Biogas: Renewable and environmentally friendly, biogas produces significantly less smoke and pollutants compared to traditional biomass fuels.
Conclusion: LPG, natural gas, and biogas are less polluting options compared to kerosene and firewood. They emit fewer harmful substances and contribute less to indoor air pollution. Using cleaner fuels and renewable energy sources can significantly reduce pollution and improve health outcomes.
