Yesterday, I came across a YouTube channel that appears to have been created by a Japanese person. It features several short videos about the dangers of wood-burning stoves. Please translate them and help spread the word. @no-smokeno?si=mYGkdeYeq_JjBxCF" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@no-smokeno?si…

The problem with the legislation is whatever you burn, it still emits fine particulate matter. That particulate matter has devastating effects on burners' (and their neighbours') health. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

Thanks to @drphilippakaye for helping to raise awareness of the high levels of #AirPollution from wood burning. "Babies and young children are most at risk, but then people at the other end of life are at risk too." @thismorning #EcoStove #WoodBurningStove express.co.uk/news/science/1…

Wood burners will be ‘socially unacceptable’: islingtontribune.co.uk/article/wood-b…

A study that compared emissions from different kinds of wood-burning appliances found that the “advanced” wood stoves emitted amounts of non-methane hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides and PAHs that were similar to or higher than those from traditional wood stoves. In fact,

“An air quality expert said burning wood to heat homes was an increasing pollution issue in Wales, and he questioned whether those who did it cared about the impacts.” #WoodSmokePollution nation.cymru/news/air-quali…

Children in homes with wood burners could be exposed to over three times more pollution than those in non-wood-burning homes. 53 children in Anglesey (Ynys Môn) were given backpacks equipped with air pollution sensors. My latest for @guardian theguardian.com/environment/20…

Wood burners polluting rural homes more than traffic A citizen science project with schoolchildren on the Isle of Anglesey has revealed that for rural children, the greatest threat to air quality is not outside on the roads, but inside their own homes. airqualitynews.com/headlines/wood…

The London Wood Burning Project is raising awareness and improving understanding of the environmental and human health impacts from wood and solid fuel burning in the home. Find out more at woodburning.london #airpollution #woodburning #woodsmoke

Wood burning is a choice…

"Field measurements by the Flemish Environment Agency (VMM) show that concentrations of benzo(a)pyrene, a carcinogenic substance directly linked to wood combustion, increased by 44 per cent across all measuring stations in 2022." #health #woodburning belganewsagency.eu/flemish-wood-b…

The growing threat of domestic wood burning stoves has led public health officials to warn about rising emissions from urban wood burning. A BMJ investigation reveals that nearly a third of councils in high use areas have faced pressure from the stove industry to tone down or withdraw campaigns. Commenting on The BMJ’s findings, Jonathan Blades, head of policy, told The BMJ: “These tactics by the stove industry clearly try to undermine public awareness of those risks, and that means people aren’t able to make informed decisions for their health. That’s a real concern that the councils need to address.” Find out more here: orlo.uk/UU1bj

Burning wood emits high levels of carbon dioxide, often exceeding fossil fuels like coal and natural gas per unit of energy produced. While considered renewable, it creates significant "carbon debt," releasing decades of stored carbon instantly while requiring years for regrowth.

Wood burner and log burner rules face major shake-up as Government launches consultation leicestermercury.co.uk/news/uk-world-…

“Ministers have stated that the consultation will aim to minimise the impact of these changes on those who rely on wood burning…” Unfortunately, ministers don’t seem as eager to minimize the impact of wood smoke on everyone else.

Wood burning produces 20% of the UK's most dangerous air pollution - comparable to road transport. Yet only 1% of households rely on it as their main heating. Today we submitted our response to Defra's consultation, which you can read here: heyzine.com/flip-book/4181…

BAN WOOD BURNING | @CleanAirLondon urges @Keir_Starmer @CommonsEAC to investigate @EmmaforWycombe's failure to address #WoodBurning that has similarities with #InfectedBloodScandal weeks before 70th anniversary of #CleanAirAct HT @tobyperkinsmp @BarryGardiner cc @RachelReevesMP

Subsidising wood-fuelled heating systems is just another phrase for 'giving people money to pollute the air and to make their neighbours' lives hell'.

Bei dem Gestank kann man auch einfach nicht schlafen.... Auch bei geschlossenem Fenster ziehen die partikel durch kleinste Risse im Gebäude. Man riecht es. Man kann nicht lüften. Ich habe teilweise wegen sowas angefangen, am Tag zu schlafen, weil es ja nachts nicht möglich war.

I have identified a pattern of behavior common to wood stove offenders worldwide. When confronted with logical, scientific arguments, these offenders are left with no rebuttal. Consequently, they can only respond with emotional appeals and verbal abuse.
