The world has been in panic over the last couple days knowing that the Amazon forest, the lungs of our Earth, has been continuously ablaze It is widely believed that this state had been hidden from social media by the Brazil government, appearing to trigger off these awful events, until they could no longer hold it The local Brazilian residents seemed to be encouraged to use slash-and-burn agriculture which is culprit of blown wildfires in Amazon forest
Moreover, the wildfires have demolished the ecosystem and biodiversity of Amazon forest resulting in immolating thousands of animals Not only were their habitats cruelly deprived but their life as well
Besides, smoke from forest fires traveled nearly 3000 km to black out Sao Paulo in middle of the day causing many discommodities for the inhabitants The alert fact is that smoke contain a tremendous high amount of carbon monoxide, believed to persist in the
atmosphere for about a month, that can have dreadful impact on residents According to the Mayo Clinic, after overexposure to CO fumes, your body may replace oxygen in your red blood cells with
CO, preventing oxygen from reaching your bloodstream and leading
to brain damage and even death
