En los Amazwe ampofu noma ukungathuthuki kahle kuvame kakhulu ukusetshenziswa kwezinkuni zokubasa, izinsalela zezitshalo, amalahle, njll. ukupheka nokushisa, njengoba kushibhile uma kuqhathaniswa neminye imithombo yamandla.
Ngokusho kwezinhlangano ezifana ne-FAO ne-WHO, balinganisela ukuthi i-biomass, ikakhulukazi izinkuni namalahle, isetshenziswa ezigidini zemindeni empofu emhlabeni jikelele.
Ukusetshenziswa kwalezi zinto njenge amafutha njengoba izitofu, izitofu neminye imishini iyingozi kakhulu, ngakho-ke umlilo ovuthayo awuphelele futhi udala ukukhishwa kwezinto ezinobuthi ezifana ne-carbon monoxide, i-benzene, i-formaldehyde, i-polyaromatic hydrocarbon, phakathi kokunye okuthinta kakhulu impilo yabantu abasendaweni .
Ukuntuleka komoya namakhaya ampofu angenazo izingqalasizinda ezanele kubeka impilo yabantu engcupheni njengoba bechayeke ku ukungcola kubalulekile.
I-pneumonia, izifo zokuphefumula ezinganeni zivame kakhulu emakhaya asebenzisa okokubasa okuqinile noma i-biomass futhi bakhiqiza izinkulungwane zokufa ngonyaka ngenxa yalesi sizathu. I-Emphysema ne-bronchitis engapheli nezinkinga zenhliziyo nakho kuvamile kulezi zinhlobo zezindawo. Ezinye izifo nezimpawu zihambisana nokungcola kwe-biomass, yize kunolwazi oluncane.
Ukusetshenziswa kwe-biomass kufanele kwenziwe ngokuphepha ukuze kungadali izinkinga zempilo.
Izinkuni zokubasa kufanele zisikwe kahle, zivunyelwe ukuba zome, kodwa futhi zisebenzise izitofu ezanele nezitofu ezinoshimula nama-hood ukuze intuthu ingahlali ngaphakathi ezindlini futhi ingayingcolisi.
Kubalulekile ukuphakela ubuchwepheshe yesimanje kakhulu kubantu abampofu ukuze bakwazi ukushisa ngokuphepha noma bapheke besebenzisa i-biomass.
Ukusetshenziswa kwe-biomass kungokokhokho kepha namuhla abampofu abakusebenzisa kakhulu ngoba kungumthombo ofinyeleleka kakhulu abanawo, kubalulekile ukusiza ukuvimbela ukungcoliswa nezinkinga zempilo kulokhu.
