Wood burning produces fine particulate air pollution (PM2.5), which enters your bloodstream when inhaled and can cause lung and heart disease, as well as increasing your risk of diabetes and dementia. This #CleanAirNight (22 January), share the facts about wood burning. Visit cleanairhub.org.uk to find out more.
New research shows that air pollution from wood burning stoves and open fires contributes nearly 2,500 deaths in the UK each year

"The physics of combustion: wood emits 2.5 times as much CO2 than natural gas & 30% more than coal when burned for heat. When it comes to nasty particulates lodging in our lungs & organs, it's far worse than any fossil fuel" #AirPollution #WoodBurning #Health #Climate

Many fireplace lovers assume burning wood for warmth is climate-friendly. But wood emits 2.5 times as much CO₂ than natural gas and 30 percent more than coal when burned for heat, according to some scientists. wapo.st/3YJjlt0

Pollution from open fires and wood burning stoves may damage lungs, leading to reduced lung function. New research suggests that the small particle pollution (PM2.5) produced by burning wood can damage lungs. Read more here tinyurl.com/ytzpzkp8 #woodburning
Purple text reads “The link between wood burners and lung function decline”. The background is yellow and there is a blue drawing of a human torso with the bones and lungs drawn in a lighter blue.

Wise words from the Chairman of @NewportRFC supporters club (toddlers branch): “It’s been a tricky start to the season but champions know it’s all about peaking at the business end when the silverware is handed out” 😁🏆

Just because something is natural & has been with us for a long time doesn't mean it's harmless. Evidence of #WoodSmoke harm throughout history ⬇️ #AirPollution #WoodBurning #Health #Environment dsawsp.org/blog/wood-smoke-h…

Wood smoke has always been harmful

Humans have been burning wood for thousands of years, but there is plenty of historical and archaeological evidence to demonstrate that it’s never been healthy.

I’m on the seafront in Salcombe, Devon where a large crowd has gathered around me listening in to the TMS coverage on my phone. Or it could be because I’m near the queue for the ice cream van #bbccricket
