A study from the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology in Edinburgh suggests that human breathing, including burps and farts, contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, particularly methane and nitrous oxide.
The study highlights that these emissions from human breath, combined with those from livestock and wild animals, could make up a significant unaccounted source of emissions.
The researchers also found no significant connection between diet and gas emissions. (Trending: Prominent LGBTQ Activist Arrested Over Disturbing Charges)
“We would urge caution in the assumption that emissions from humans are negligible,” the study’s conclusion stated.
“We report only emissions in breath in this study, and flatus emissions are likely to increase these values significantly, though no literature characterises these emissions for people in the UK,” continued the researchers.
Adding, “Assuming that livestock and other wild animals also exhale emissions of N2O, there may still be a small but significant unaccounted for source of N2O emissions in the UK, which could account for more than 1% of national-scale emissions.”
Findings showed “Concentration enhancement of both CH4 and N2O in the breath of vegetarians and meat consumers are similar in magnitude Based on these results, we can state that, when estimating emissions from a population within the UK, diet or future diet changes are unlikely to be important when estimating emissions across the UK as a whole,” the study explained.
Additionally, the Lancet has claimed that climate change represents the “biggest global health threat of the 21st century.”
“Climate change mitigation is arguably the biggest preventive global health action possible — without effective mitigation, humanity will be unrecognisable by the time a child born today reaches old age,” the Lancet warned.
