Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : Burning coal

The correct answer is Burning coal.

  • Coal is a highly variable fuel that contains different levels of moisture, non-combustible inorganic material (ash), sulfur, and sometimes significant levels of other impurities, e.g. arsenic, fluorine, lead and mercury.
  • Burning coal inside the home for the purposes of heating or cooking produces particulate and gas emissions that may contain a number of harmful chemicals, such as benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
  • The combustion may lead to carbon monoxide which becomes fatal to human beings as it blocks oxygen to reach parts of the body.
  • Lung cancer is also associated with exposure to indoor coal combustion emissions.
