These gases are linked to a variety of health problems, including lung infections, learning difficulties, and a greater risk for childhood asthma. Even when they’re not operating, they release methane which is a greenhouse gas that is regarded to be more powerful than carbon dioxide, but doesn’t stay in the atmosphere as long.
