Health Ailments of Rural Women Community Using Biomass Fuel and their Socio- Cultural Practice Socio- Economical Constraints

Abstract

In this article the study of gap in the health parameters as well as socioeconomic constraints and socio cultural trends of women who adhere to the use of biomass fuel has been outlined. Biomass fuel has long been associated with pollution and health problems. Most previous research in this field has been focused on respiratory health, eye disease, and other health issues such as asthma, TB, COPD, cataracts, low birth weight and even cancer. Researchers discovered that cigarette smoking and health problems are a top priority. Huge amount of toxic substances are produced due to combustion of different fuels. Burning of biomass fuel produces large amount of carbon monoxides. Carbon monoxide is a toxic gas; long time exposure may prove fatal. Animal rearing is a rural citizen's auxiliary occupation to farming. Cow dung cake preparation has been discovered to be a socio cultural practice. Regardless of their awareness of the negative influence on their health the use of readily available natural fuel has been observed as an old natural social habit. The current study looked into the health of rural women while also taking into account their economic situation and socio cultural practices. Hematological and immunological markers were chosen for health status evaluation.
