One of the problems of biomass is that material directly combusted in cook stoves produces pollutants, leading to severe health and environmental consequences, although improved cook stove programmes are alleviating some of these effects.
Another attractive feature of bioleaching is that it does not produce pollutants such as sulfur dioxide and arsenic that result from smelting.
High-volume traffic on secondary roads may also produce pollutants resulting from frequent stops and accelerations, which have been found to be associated with asthma symptoms (Ryan et al. 2005).
Transporting food from far-off locations takes a toll on the environment, as it must be shipped in trucks, by rail or by ship, all of which produce pollutants.
In the Journal of Geophysical Research, a group of atmospheric scientists and modelers reports that a new, more finely detailed model can rather accurately simulate both atmospheric circulation and the airborne chemical reactions that produce pollutant ozone.
