Product Description
Biomass Wood Stove Esb-rbscw01e 24inch Such traditional cooking practice is characterized by incomplete combustion of biomass fuels resulting in the emission of toxic smoke. Women (and accompanying children) who get exposed to this smoke every day during cooking food on a mud stove, particularly in poorly ventilated kitchens, face an increased risk of pneumonia, respiratory diseases, etc. Kitchen smoke is responsible for half a million premature deaths in India annually. The toxic smoke also contains climate change agents like carbon monoxide and black carbon. Such traditional mud stoves also have low thermal efficiency(-17%) that results in high fuel consumption (-1 kg/person/day of firewood) thereby contributing to deforestation in some areas.
