What are the hazards of burning straw?

One is to pollute the atmosphere. Generally speaking, the air quality in rural areas of China is better than that in cities. However, due to the burning of straw, the concentration of pollutants such as smoke and particulate matter in the air increases sharply, and the air quality drops rapidly, which is not conducive to human health.

The second is to reduce atmospheric visibility and hinder traffic, especially the take-off and landing of airport planes and the driving of cars on highways. For example, 1998, farmers in Shuangliu County, Sichuan Province burned straw, which caused dozens of flights in Chengdu Shuangliu Airport to fail to take off and land normally, causing great economic losses.
