Burning Winter Leaves - 03/16/2026

Leaves are raked and burned in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on March 16, 2026. This is a common cleanup practice to remove winter-damaged foliage in countryside areas. Moist leaves, which tend to burn slowly, give off more smoke than dry leaves. These moist leaves are more likely to emit hydrocarbons, which irritate the eyes, nose, throat, and lungs. Some of these hydrocarbons are known carcinogens.
