"Luxury Pollution"
#Woodburners release fine particles, PM2.5 that can exacerbate #asthma & other respiratory diseases & in some cases even contribute to #cancer.
The impact on neighbours is always overlooked.

"Stay indoors” assumes our homes are hermetically sealed labs.
They aren’t. Outdoor smoke happily comes inside through doors, vents, cracks and windows.....that’s called air.
Telling people to hide indoors doesn’t stop pollution harming our health.

"… large contributor to disease severity was #AirPollution …"
Exposure to AP reportedly had a disproportionate effect on lower SES patients and led to more severe CRS (chronic rhinosinusitis) symptoms and inferior treatment outcomes."

I’m visiting my parents & I can smell wood smoke wafting through their house.
Wood burning neighbours in #Brinscall are doubling PM2.5 #AirPollution levels compared to #Chorley. There is practically no safe level of PM2.5 exposure at which #health impacts stop.

They are examining a scientific sample together, with a microscope and laboratory equipment visible on the bench. All three women are focused and engaged. The RCSI crest is visible on the lead researcher's coat. A badge overlay in the bottom-right corner reads: "World #1 for Good Health and Well-being – Times Higher Education Impact Rankings 2025".
