Detailed explanation-1: -Abstract. Charcoal, often used as cooking fuel at some restaurants, generates a significant amount of carbon monoxide (CO) during its combustion.
Detailed explanation-2: -Charcoal is essentially pure carbon, and burning charcoal releases high levels of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and pollutants like soot, which can travel deep into the lungs, especially in poorly-ventilated kitchens. These emissions can prove incredibly harmful.
Detailed explanation-3: -Charcoal burns at a higher temperature than wood, with hardly a visible flame, and releases almost nothing except heat and carbon dioxide. One kilogram of charcoal contains 680 to 820 grams of carbon, which, when combined with oxygen from the atmosphere, form 2.5 to 3 kg of carbon dioxide.
