Can you please promote Clean Air Night? @RBKingston @contactKingston Council EHOs have no knowledge of the health impacts of wood burning calling it “a common feature across the borough” and thinking its about “not liking the smell”. They would benefit from attending the webinar.

Up to now it’s been easy to associate the glow of a fire with cosiness. But burning wood produces harmful air pollution 🔥

I so hope we see more #climate action now. So sad.
Los Angeles has #AirPollution at levels that could raise daily mortality by 5 to 15%, said an expert on air pollution at University of California.
That means current death counts, “while tragic, are likely large underestimates,”

“We think of cities as the places with the worst air pollution, but studies are increasingly highlighting severe air pollution in rural towns and villages, mainly from wood heating. #WoodSmokePollution

There’s a lot to love about living in rural and regional Australia but sometimes living outside the cities can be hard. Over the last decade, the Regional Wellbeing Survey has highlighted the challenges rural Australians face. Take part in the 2024 Survey uoc.syd1.qualtrics.com/jfe/f…

“Smoke from wood stoves pollutes the air we breathe. Even electrostatic separators or catalysts cannot change this. Another problem: official emission values ​​have little to do with the actual pollutant emissions from the stoves.”
#Holzofengate #WoodSmokePollution
Rauch aus Holzöfen belastet die Atemluft. Daran können auch E-Abscheider oder Katalysatoren nichts ändern. Ein weiteres Problem: Offizielle Emissionswerte haben mit dem realen Schadstoffausstoß der Öfen wenig zu tun. spektrum.de/news/emissionen-…

There are serious concerns over nitrogen dioxide (NO2) levels which could threaten the health of workers, commuters, and local residents.

Thank you! I hope more organizations will follow your wonderful example! The wood burning industry has been getting away with peddling misinformation for far too long.

Our ad in the Canberra Times highlights the health risks of wood heater smoke, especially for people with #asthma. Protect your right to breathe and phase out wood heaters.
