WHAT TO DO DURING AN EARTHQUAKE
*ISSUED IN PUBLIC INTEREST*

Leaf Burning:
===========
Question: Is it OK to burn brush/ fallen leaves?

Short Answer: NO.

Explanation: Many of us, especially in rural areas, have been in the habit of burning leaves that accumulates on their property. But this practice adds carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change, as well as adding particulates and other air pollutants.

Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas (GHG) that contributes to the greenhouse effect. GHGs essentially thermally insulate the Earth, making our planet warm enough to inhabit. However, humans have pumped excess GHGs into the atmosphere, causing the average temperature of our planet to increase over time. (See Climate Science for more on the basics of climate change.)

If we burn 100 pounds of brush(small dry fallen branches), we will release about 40 pounds of carbon – which translates to about 147 pounds of carbon dioxide – back into the atmosphere.

Leaves also contain lots of carbon. Instead of burning them, we can compost them, use them as mulch, or even use a mulching lawn mower(or electric trimming blades) to shred them back into our lawn. (Small diameter brush will break down relatively quickly when layered with leaves and grass clippings in compost piles.) Composting does release some carbon dioxide, but much of the plants’ carbon remains locked up in the compost.

Even if we choose to burn those leaves/ brushes we should also be aware of at least two more facts: Inhaling of the fume causes asthma and there is always a chance of the fire spreading.

Some countries have leaf burning regulations, marking specific landfills the only place for the burning.


Remember:
1. Good result does not always come from the shortest path (in this case leaf burning on spot).
2. Safety First, be that fire safety or health safety.

~~ Think about the harm being caused to others by leaf burning and try to avoid it as much as possible.

Stay safe.

THE CONSEQUENCES OF FIRE

"The Killing Fumes"

Most fire deaths are not caused by burns, but by smoke inhalation. Often smoke incapacitates so quickly that people are overcome and can’t make it to an otherwise accessible exit. The synthetic materials commonplace in today’s homes produce especially dangerous substances. As a fire grows inside a building, it will often consume most of the available oxygen, slowing the burning process. This “incomplete combustion” results in toxic gases.

Smoke is made of components that can each be lethal in its own way:

# Particles: Unburned, partially burned, and completely burned substances can be so small they pe*****te the respiratory system’s protective filters, and lodge in the lungs. Some are actively toxic; others are irritating to the eyes and digestive system.

# Vapors: Foglike droplets of liquid can poison if inhaled or absorbed through the skin.

# Toxic Gases: The most common, carbon monoxide (CO), can be deadly, even in small quantities, as it replaced oxygen in the bloodstream. Hydrogen cyanide results from the burning of plastics, such as PVC pipe, and interferes with cellular respiration. Phosgene is formed when household products, such as vinyl materials, are burned. At low levels, phosgene can cause itchy eyes and a sore throat; at higher levels it can cause pulmonary edema and death.

In addition to producing smoke, fire can incapacitate or kill by reducing oxygen levels, either by consuming the oxygen, or by displacing it with other gases. Heat is also a respiratory hazard, as superheated gases burn the respiratory tract. When the air is hot enough, one breath can kill.
