Smoke is an aerosol produced through combustion or pyrolysis, comprising particulate matter and air. Primarily an unwanted byproduct of fires, it serves various purposes like pest control (fumigation), military tactics, cooking, and ritualistic practices involving incense. Moreover, smoke finds utility as a flavoring agent and preservative, showcasing its diverse applications beyond its common association with fires.
In 2006, the United States Surgeon General's report indicated that exposure to secondhand tobacco smoke can activate platelets, increasing clotting risk, damaging blood vessel linings, decreasing coronary flow velocity reserves, and reducing heart rate variability, potentially elevating the risk of heart attacks.
Research conducted in 2015 estimated that 38% of total particulate pollution emissions in Europe are composed of domestic wood burning.
