Charcoal
Charcoal is used as fuel for heaters, fireplaces, barbecues, wood stoves, as well as supplying some industrial sectors.
"Charcoal is obtained from the burning or carbonization of wood, after which this process results in a black substance.

In everyday life, charcoal is used as fuel for heaters, fireplaces, barbecues and wood stoves, in addition to supplying some industrial sectors, such as steel mills.

Charcoal is also used in medicine, in this case called activated carbon from certain soft-looking and non-resinous woods.

This substance has been used since Antiquity, in the Egyptian civilization it had its widespread use in the purification of oils and medicinal use. In World War II, it was used to remove toxic gases due to its high capacity to absorb impurities without altering its structure, due to its porous composition.

In Brazil, there are reports of the use of charcoal by the Indians, who mixed the substance with animal fats in order to fight diseases such as tumors and ulcers.

Charcoal also excels at conducting oxygen and an efficient disseminator of toxins. In view of several positive indications of charcoal, its use in the treatment of stomach pain, bad breath, canker sores, intestinal gas, infectious diarrhea, hepatic dysentery and poisoning can be highlighted.

Brazil still makes use of charcoal in industrial production, a practice that is no longer developed in the central countries, the country occupies the first place in the production of this substance. In view of this, about 85% of the coal produced is used in industries, households account for 9% of consumption and the commercial sector such as pizzerias, bakeries and steakhouses 1.5%.

Despite the benefits presented with the use of charcoal, it is necessary to analyze the consequences that its production causes. First of all, it is important to analyze the social factor, when adults and even children work in charcoal factories in conditions, most of the time, precarious work and very low wages.

Another factor no less important than the first is the environmental one, because for the development of this activity it is often necessary to remove the vegetation cover of important vegetative compositions contained in the Brazilian territory, which generally do not come from reforestation wood or wood cultivated for this purpose, since some research reveals that approximately 78% of the charcoal produced in Brazil is of native vegetation origin. which causes enormous environmental damage."
