According to Stonehart (2017), open-air burning refers to the action
of igniting a fire to burn rubbish or any material in the outdoors which emits smoke
and gases into the air. (Indirect Quotation)
One example is open-air burning which is carried out by farmers after harvesting
paddy. (Supporting Point 1).
Farmers set fire to their paddy stalks in the fields to clear their land before the next
planting season. (Supporting Detail 1-elaborate ).
Thus, the burning causes ashes, smoke and toxic gases to be released into the
atmosphere. (Supporting Detail 2 -effect).
Furthermore, people who inhale the smoke and gases can get respiratory diseases
such as asthma and breathing difficulties. (Supporting Detail 3-effect).
As a result, open-air burning can lead to serious respiratory problems to the public.
