@IWantCleanAir2 @SadiqKhan Exactly. Why are wood burners hardly ever mentioned in these discussions?

There's been so much in the news about #WoodBurningStoves recently. Glad to see this coverage - the health cost of burning is very real for those who are powerless over their neighbours' smoke. #EcoStove #AirPollution

Wood-burning stoves give off SIX times as much cancer-causing pollution as diesel trucks and they could be making you ill https://t.co/sqCWFUk5fq

[GT 🍃💚🍃 @Graham21]

Particle pollution from wood burning up a 1/3 in a decade where other sources of pollution declining: Wood-burning stoves are 'next cigarettes'.

Wonderful honesty from @GeorgeMonbiot

'Even a modern, approved, “eco-friendly” wood burner produces 750 times as many fine particulates as a heavy goods vehicle.'

@Rushcliffe That’s brilliant! More and more residents are installing wood burners and I wonder if they are aware of the health implications. The air quality in the Borough is getting steadily worse. . . #PM2.5 #AirPollution #woodburning

[Janet Chester @JanetChester]

@Rushcliffe With reference to this article, could Rushcliffe Borough Council also make residents aware of the hazards of burning wood? PM2.5 is so high in West Bridgford in the winter. #AirPollution #Woodburning

[Mums For Lungs @MumsForLungs]

Thank you so much @wandbc for spreading awareness of the dangers of burning wood in your Nov 2022 magazine to residents,
"residents are being encouraged not to burn unless
they have no alternative source of heating, as it
causes dangerous #AirPollution".

@AirCambs PM2.5 in Nottingham suburb this morning after last night’s wood burning . . . #banwoodburning #AirPollution

If everyone in rich countries are so worried about China carbon emissions
here is an idea - stop buying their mountain of cheap consumer goods that you do not need and their emissions will plummet

Should 5.4 million asthma sufferers be told to stay indoors this weekend or can we have a grown up conversation about #BonfireNight instead? @asthmalunguk @MumsForLungs @CleanAirLondon @CleanAirSheff

#AirPollution is the biggest environmental health risk in the UK. Wood burning, even in Ecodesign stoves, is a huge contributor to this. We want to hear from you if you are affected by #WoodBurning - please tell us your story. https://t.co/QGkxuNLlnd

What a difference a day makes. Liz's new government turns the clock back on animal welfare. Sad but not shocked that they have scrapped the proposed bans on fur, fois gras and trophy hunting. No compassion

[Peter Dynes @PGDynes]

6 tonnes of solid fuel will be burned each second to send a ship around the moon whilst the Earth hits record global temperatures.....is there a priorities issue here?

[Mums For Lungs @MumsForLungs]

“We’ve forgotten the journey we’ve been on with clean air. Most people stopped burning wood because it was dirty & inconvenient. Now it’s become a fashionable lifestyle choice.” #Bristol citizen science #AirPollution monitoring shows #WoodBurning effect.

Watch this refusal by Minister to answer me on why flights are cheap & trains so expensive - not helped by patronising substitute Tory Cttee Chair shushing me when I dare to do my job holding Govt to account

Share if you think we need answers, not obfuscation from the boys 💪

@StoveIndustry How did the study into adverse health effects from OUTDOOR woodsmoke particulate matter go? #stopburningstuff
