Norwich air not acceptable in the middle of a respiratory pandemic. The WHO says you shouldn't exceed an average of 25ug/m3 in 24 hours more than 3 times a year purpleair.com/map?opt=1/mAQI…

It's #NationalHedgehogDay. So here's a sad story from Oct. Hedgehogs are a tragic victim of mass car ownership - but the flip side of this is that ditching cars & car culture can only help these amazing creatures recover. Yet another reason to shift mode! bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

Next level, direction Kindergarden

Wow Chorley! This is the reality of living with residents who burn solid fuels. The WHO says you shouldn't exceed an average of 25ug/m3 in 24 hours more than 3 times a year. This is dangerous levels of PM2.5 in Norwich too as they all stoke up. purpleair.com/map?opt=1/mPM2…

New study: “68% of indoor burners lived in urban areas in the UK (as opposed to 32% in rural areas)” “Aesthetics (28%) – burning is about socialising & creating a homely atmosphere” “Almost all respondents had access to an alternative heating option” randd.defra.gov.uk/Document.aspx?…

Blockbuster by Ben Webster (£) | Wood-burning stoves drive up most-dangerous #AirPollution. 1. #WoodBurning should be banned in urban areas. 2. We need a new #CleanAirAct before #COP26! thetimes.co.uk/article/wood-b… cc Rt Hon Lord Alok Sharma @KwasiKwarteng Matt Hancock Defra UK

Clean Air in London Ben Webster Rt Hon Lord Alok Sharma @KwasiKwarteng Matt Hancock Defra UK 8% of the population burns wood but causes triple the pollution of ALL road traffic for PM2.5's. On grid, ban the damn things.

@lillybank6 Clean Air in London Ben Webster Rt Hon Lord Alok Sharma @KwasiKwarteng Matt Hancock Defra UK In the last five years, deforestation in the Baltics and Scandinavia has skyrocketed by half. What’s to blame is the EU’s renewable-energy directive, which called for countries to supply 20 per cent of their energy needs via renewable sources.

This is really quite shocking - PM concentrations > 100 ug m-3 in a small town in Ireland. A lesson for us all that solid fuel burning is highly polluting and leads to big exposures.

Gary Fuller Also shocking... Huge levels of particulates as measured by my back door. These are coming from a log burner in the next street.

The nature of our campaign means that when it comes to #airpollution, we've focussed on traffic. But if we want clean air (and we do!) then we urgently need serious action on #woodsmoke, too

Pls John Horgan @KatrineConroy just....please act now. This should be illegal. I saw stumps of 1000 year old trees Fairy Creek Blockade flagging tape on 2000 year old yellow cedars. It’s like destroying Pantheon or the Sistine Chapel to make a buck. Enough already. #oldgrowth #bcpoli

Woody Smoke Smoke Pollution In the USA/ NYS government and our governor Cuomo allows the over the top emissions from unregulated indoor wood boilers but they regulate outdoor boilers. That shows you how smart he is!
