TLDR
In this article, an effort has been made to discuss the AMGCS with its recent advancements, performance, CO2 mitigation and payback period, which can be used to reduce the consumption of household energy.Abstract:
Cooking is an essential part of life as food is indispensable for the persistence of human beings. Cooking of food requires heat energy and which can be met through electric cookstoves and LPG in developed countries. But the developing countries still depend on the combustion of biomass fuels such as wood, crop residues, dung cake, charcoal to meet up with their cooking and heating demands. The biomass is abundantly existing everywhere in the world and can be burnt directly in the cookstoves. Attention has been increased all over the globe in dipping the consumption of household energy and indoor air pollutants. Advanced micro-gasifier cookstoves (AMGCS) has been a topic of recent research, but still, 3 billion people cook over inefficient means of cookstoves though the number of initiatives has been taken by the government and non-government agencies to encourage the energy-efficient biomass cookstove. In this paper, an effort has been made to discuss the AMGCS with its recent advancements, performance, CO2 mitigation and payback period.read more

Air pollution from biomass burning and asthma hospital admissions in a sugar cane plantation area in Brazil
Marcos Abdo Arbex,Lourdes Conceição Martins,Regiani Carvalho de Oliveira,Luiz Alberto Amador Pereira,Flávio Ferlin Arbex,José Eduardo Delfini Cançado,Paulo Hilário Nascimento Saldiva,Alfésio Luís Ferreira Braga +7 more
TL;DR: Increases in TSP concentrations were definitely associated with asthma hospital admissions in Araraquara and, despite using sugar cane alcohol to reduce air pollution from automotive sources in large Brazilian urban centres, the cities where sugar cane is harvested pay a high toll in terms of public health.
