"France, between December 2020 and February 2021, the contribution of domestic wood heating was estimated on average at 77% of the atmospheric concentration level of organic particles, at 72% for soot carbon and at 40% for fine particles (PM 2.5)" #Woodsmoke www.franceinfo.fr/environnemen...
This is a picture of a freeway.. there are four frames in squares in a grid pattern and all the four pictures of the same freeway with the only difference is the caption underneath the four squares in one case it says cars and the other cases electric cars and autonomous cars and Uber Lyft cars. This is a meme that marks the idea that electric cars are going to be a modern invention that delivers us from our problems
#woodsmoke reduction is a big reason most city air is cleaner
It's why Portland has more bad air alerts.
Is it possible there is confirmation bias by electric car fans who make all sorts of claims about their toy? It's certainly not repairablity nor longevity or equitable access .

The image has a peach background and a purple drawing of a house with a person and a cat sitting on the sofa in front of an open fireplace. The chimney of the house has a large monster made of smoke coming from the chimney and text that reads “Domestic Wood Burning, linked to increased risk of asthma and lung cancer. Wood burners. Careless not cosy”.

If you could see the pollution would you still keep burning? #woodsmoke #airpollution
#Airpollution causes health harms including asthma, cancer and stroke. Particulate matter (PM) from burning solid fuels is a major component of this. #woodsmoke
A consultation on proposals to reduce particulate emissions from domestic combustion is now open:

Yes currently Legal but lethal whith little or no controls on #Woodsmoke from so called "Eco-Stoves" with emission based on a one off test based on 70 year old legislation. #Airpollution & #Carcinogenic allowed its time woodburning was banned.

Supporting #CleanAirNight in RB Kingston. #Surbiton is worst place in UK for air pollution according to IQAir study & high rates of stove ownership according to UCL wood burner map. Awareness raising in the media has reduced #woodsmoke a bit, but more campaigning is needed! @mumsforlungs.bsky.social
Clean Air Night is here. Learn the truth about wood burning and share with your friends, family, and community woodburning.london #woodburning

Fifth Street saw two fire emergencies Xmas morning, but the smoke in this photo was not from them, but from our woodstove, due to a micro-weather inversion. #fire #fireemergency #emergency #smoke #woodsmoke #woodstove #stove #smoky #temperatureinversion #inversion #weather
www.bloomberg.com/news/article... #woodsmoke "walk down one of London’s more affluent residential streets and notice the smell of wood smoke. Bittersweet and pungent, the odor typically comes from an appliance that has become the epitome of British middle-class aspiration:the wood-burning stove"

Text reads “Is there a link between wood smoke and asthma? The background is yellow with a pattern of small wood fires, and the image is a cartoon child with a downturned mouth and an asthma inhaler and small clouds flying around their head.
Air pollution can be a trigger for asthma, and long-term exposure can cause asthma and other lung conditions. We know that wood burning produces air pollution, so can we say that wood burning causes asthma? Read more here tinyurl.com/mutyfx76 #pollution

Yet is in denial about domestic wood burning emissions as she feels her little wood burner is not harming anyone. Routinely blocks and mutes clean air campaigners when they challenge that view. There seems to be a common belief in the @greenparty.org.uk that #woodsmoke is “clean” air pollution!
#CodeYellow alert | #WoodBurning in London on Friday night - in still cold air - is likely to cause a short-sharp build up of deadly particles (PM2.5). Please warn vulnerable people, ask neighbours not to burn and take a zero tolerance approach to #WoodSmoke (without putting yourself in danger)
#CodeYellow advisory | Low temperatures and still air on Friday and Saturday may cause a spike in #WoodSmoke in Outer London. It’s bad for health, @thecccuk.bsky.social says #WoodBurningStoves should be phased out and Defra says you could be fined £300. #BanWoodBurning www.gov.uk/smoke-contro...
"Indoor air pollution from New Zealand’s 523,000 wood burners was estimated to account for 446 hospital admissions for heart and lung problems, and 101 early deaths annually, in a country with a population of just over 5 million people. "
