Home wood burning in UK causes almost £1bn health costs a year, report says Pollution from wood burning causes 40% of all harm from home heating, but provides only 6% of heat, says public health group

Road transport is already being electrified.

Low emission wood burners do not exist. All combustion creates emissions.

1 wood burner is a lot more polluting than 1 vehicle.

It's nearly £1bn every year in health costs due to wood smoke pollution.

Wood burning industry tactics Using recognizable tactics, the wood burning industry works to mislead the public and shape public policies for their benefit.

Compare them to gas heating and heat pumps and they are not low emission.

"By comparing newer certified wood stoves to only the most polluting heat sources, it gives the impression they are far less polluting than they actually are."

‘Silent killer’: Taxpayer media finds ‘burning wood’ a threat to your health Sky News host Paul Murray discusses how taxpayer-funded media has found wood heater pollution as a "silent killer" in Australia. “Today, taxpayer media have finally found the big killer, the big danger, the thing we must do to save lives here at home and change the climate globally, and it is the fireplace at your joint,” Mr Murray said. “Yes, I am talking to you, right now if you are currently warming in an Australian winter with wood, either behind the glass, in the heater or in a beautiful fireplace where you can hear the crackle, well, guess what, my friends, you are part of the problem.”

The tired old “we‘ve been burning wood for thousands of years, so it most be okay” defense:

Closing classroom windows does not cut air pollution, study finds Tests conducted at 500 sites show particle pollution exceeded health guidelines on 6% of school days

A very valuable study. The impact of air cleaners on indoor particulates (29% reduction) to me seems worth their not excessive costs. Or at least they could be used to provide safer indoor spaces for vulnerable children on days with high outdoor concentrations. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
