In Lake Tana, Ethiopia, there is an overgrowth of water hyacinth, causing problems such as ecological disruption and hindrance to navigation by boats. Furthermore, the increasing reliance on fuelwood and charcoal production has led to deforestation. To address these issues, use of charcoal briquette using biochar derived from water hyacinth as an alternative fuel source has been recently evaluated. However, the combustion of charcoal briquette for fuel may pose risks of indoor air pollution, potentially leading to health issues. Therefore, the objective of this study was to measure and assess the concentrations of CO, CO₂, and NOx during the combustion of water hyacinth-derived charcoal briquette.
