Description
Charcoal production in low- and middle-income regions will continue to present multifaceted environmental and public health challenges due to emissions generated during biomass carbonization and related processes. This review will synthesize future trends in pollutant generation, emission dynamics, exposure pathways, and associated health and ecological impacts. It will further explore advancements in monitoring technologies, modeling frameworks, and mitigation strategies that will inform policy and intervention design. The review will highlight the necessity of integrated, evidence-based approaches that balance sustainable livelihoods with emission reduction and ecosystem protection.
