Rice production in Southeast Vietnam generates a large amount of straw, which is often burnt directly fields, causing air pollution and affecting community health. This study aims to assess the awareness environmental health impacts straw burning among farmers, students, managers provinces Tay Ninh, Binh Phuoc, Dong Nai, Vietnam. We conducted survey 686 individuals, divided into 3 main groups: 349 250 87 local government officials. The results, analyzed using exploratory factor analysis (EFA), indicate that 55.2% farmers never engage burning, while 24.4% report infrequent burning. Awareness negative impacts, such as ecological imbalance, pollution, soil degradation, prevalent, particularly students managers. Statistical revealed significant differences perception behavior toward groups. Despite willingness adopt sustainable management practices, they require low-cost solutions do not significantly alter their farming practices. proposes policy framework includes educational initiatives, participation, support promote management. By guiding away from reduce contribute protection agricultural development.

Burning is a common method to dispose agricultural biomass residue. This practice widely used by farmers during pre- and post-harvest seasons for crops such as wheat, rice, grass seed, soy, cotton, sugarcane, corn. Farmers choose this because it cost time effective. These burning activities emit several types of pollutants into the atmosphere, including CH4, SOx, NOx, CO, CO2, particulate matter different sizes (i.e., PM1, PM2.5 PM10). Globally, United States America ranks third, preceded China India, in greenhouse gas emissions due activities. According 2020 U.S. National Emissions Inventory, field burnings produced 67,309.81 tons i.e., approximately 20% total emissions.

Abstract Air quality in India faces significant risk from agricultural residue burning, especially Punjab and Haryana, which are pivotal to the world's second‐largest agrarian economy. This study quantifies emissions post‐monsoon biomass burning (10 October–30 November 2022) these states using VIIRS fire detection data Sentinel‐2‐derived burnt areas. Ground validation via district‐level surveys aligns with findings of our study. Results show 51% total crop area was burned (14,700 km 2 Punjab; 8,300 Haryana), leading substantial PM 2.5 (54.28 Gg; 7.94 Gg), CH 4 (25.63 3.75 CO (1,100.3 195.7 NH 3 (0.83 0.15 SO (0.68 0.12 (62.1 11.04 Gg). Emissions about 6.5 times higher than Haryana attributable greater (∼14,700 ), yield, elevated residue‐to‐crop ratios. Compared VIIRS, Sentinel‐2 provides approximately 3.6 emission estimates, reflecting improved detection. District‐level variations underscore influence diverse farming practices, weather, management. An uncertainty analysis, derived multiple estimates methodologies, highlights regional disparities: exhibits highest both CO, respectively, showing least. Understanding uncertainties is vital for forecasting air pollution downwind cities such as New Delhi formulating targeted mitigation strategies.

In the Indo-Gangetic Plains (IGP) of northern India, prevalent rice-wheat cropping system (RWS) is marked by a continuous cycle planting wheat from October to April and rice June September. However, transition between these crops necessitates burning stubble due short time frame available for land preparation before wheat. This practice contributes significantly environmental pollution poses health risks both humans ecosystems. To address this issue, alternative management strategies crop residue are imperative. Utilizing as fuel, feedstock biofuels, or raw material pulp paper industry offers promising solutions. Among these, biochar emerges particularly effective option. Biochar, derived pyrolysis agricultural waste, not only mitigates but also enhances soil health, productivity, overall sustainability. Our proposal emphasizes potential conditioner, promoting carbon sequestration, improving quality, ultimately enhancing food security.
