The fires are emitting large amounts of smoke and carbon
The fires have been releasing a large amount of carbon
dioxide, the equivalent of 228 megatonnes so far this year, according to Cams,
the highest since 2010.
They are also emitting carbon monoxide - a gas
released when wood is burned and does not have much access to oxygen.
Maps from Cams show this carbon monoxide - toxic at
high levels - being carried beyond South America's coastlines.
Why we have to worry
about this fire?
This is very
important to consider and put out the fire immediately, because about 20 percent Oxygen of our Earth globe is produced by
these forests. So if we want to breath then Amazon
forests should be alive!
