PARIS: Small electrical appliances such as Microwave ovens, kettles and hair dryers harm the environment in a dozen different ways, and consumers can do far more to reduce the impacts, researchers said Thursday. In the European Union, the electricity used by 130 million microwaves puts 7.7 million tonnes of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere each year, equivalent to the annual emissions of nearly eight million cars, they reported in the journal Science of the Total Environment. ?Electricity consumption has the biggest impact,? said lead author Alejandro Gallego-Schmid, a research associate at the University of Manchester.
