WHY IT MATTERS

Open burning involves incinerating unwanted materials like paper, trees, brush, leaves, and grass, releasing smoke and harmful emissions directly into the air without any filtration. 
This includes using incineration devices that fail to control combustion air or maintain adequate temperatures.

This practice not only pollutes our air but also poses fire hazards. 
The resulting air pollution can irritate eyes and lungs, obscure visibility, soil nearby surfaces, produce unpleasant odors, and threaten those with respiratory conditions. 
It’s essential to recognize the risks of open burning and find safer alternatives for waste disposal.
