[edit] Expansion

This article really could use expansion. There should be at least two or three sentences discussing the environmental impact of biomass production (generally an impact on the land). SarcasticDwarf 18:03, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

I guess the impact is generally much the same as with all agriculture and forestry. --Tunheim 11:58, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] This looks like it needs attention

"Note: Biomass releases toxic carbon monoxide, which is dangerous to women, and chidren. It also contributes in deforestation, and stripping of the nutrients in soil."

Typo aside; this seems like an odd statement. Is this meant to state "PREGNANT" women? Even then though, I think I can safely say it is accepted public knowledge that carbon monoxide is harmful to all people.

I just looked up 'biomass' because I'd come across the term and wanted explanation; this statement really jumped out at me and I thought I'd note it in case the original author would care to clarify, or someone knowledgeable would care to remove or correct it. --LeisaPhish 15:55, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
