📣👀 Just appeared on @BBCLookNorth tonight discussing the concerning increase in domestic wood burners 🔥 Sales have risen 40% in recent years, leading to a worrying 135% increase in emissions 🚫🌁 I made a call for a ban on wood burners in urban areas to protect our health💪
Had a fantastic day speaking at the Sussex Air Quality Conference on the regs and impact of domestic fuel burning indoors at @SussexUni ! So many amazing, talented speakers covering diverse topics. Truly inspiring! #AirQuality
For wood stoves & fireplaces, UK government advice focuses on "burn better" rather than not burning at all. But 200,000 new stoves were sold in 2022. For my latest @guardian piece I talked to researchers who tested a different approach in Sheffield. theguardian.com/environment/20…

Voluntary regulations for burning wood and coal to heat homes could help tackle impact on air pollution

Wood smoke contains most of the same harmful carcinogens as tobacco smoke, but in much greater quantities. Let's tackle smoke from #WoodBurning too. To order free posters: mumsforlungs.org/news/wood-burn…

Proud to have contributed to this study during my PhD with @Jwheydon @granthamcsf, co-designing a voluntary burn alert system trialled in Sheffield. It showed real potential to reduce wood & coal burning. Thank you @DrGaryFuller for covering theguardian.com/environment/20… #AirPollution

Did you know wood and coal-burning homes in the UK now produce more particle #AirPollution than the vehicles on our roads? 🔥 Well done to Grantham Scholars @rcrohit7 & @evergreen_v_ who co-authored the study used in this insightful @guardian article ⬇️ theguardian.com/environment/20…

The hidden lifelong legacy of childhood #AirPollution exposure. New research shows that the damage from air pollution breathed as children may only manifest in adult life. My latest piece for @guardian. theguardian.com/environment/ar…
Climate experts were increasingly saying that keeping heating below 1.5C is near impossible, yet it remains the global goal. So I asked hundreds of top IPCC scientists what they thought. What they said shocked even me… 🧵 1/n #ClimateCrisis
What a fascinating talk on #Sheffield’s Clean Air Zone. Thank you to everyone who joined @FestOfDebate Thank you to our chair @MValmartin, speakers @_OliviaBlake @CleanAirSheff @rcrohit7 & Dr James Weber and to Grantham Scholars @Liang_Kresearch @alanabarlow15 for organising 👏
Great debate on #Sheffield’s Clean Air Zone. Thank you to everyone who joined @FestOfDebate and @granthamcsf scholars for organizing it. And many thanks to our speakers @_OliviaBlake, @rcrohit7, @Graham21 from @CleanAirSheff & Dr James Weber (@Atmos_Pem of @UniofReading)
"Between 9,000 & 10,500 steps a day cut risk of early death by 39% & risk of a heart attack or stroke by over a fifth." We need to redesign our cities so walking (& cycling too) is the easiest way to travel. Piece by @tobithomas_ Study on @UKBIOBANK theguardian.com/society/2024/m…

Evidence of the impacts of #AirPollution on brain health have been rapidly coming forward over the last eight to ten years. Here's another study on #AirPollution from traffic and dementia. Reported by @damiengayle. theguardian.com/environment/20…
Let's stop pretending this isn't an issue. Wood-burning stoves cancel out fall in particulate pollution from roads in UK. theguardian.com/environment/20…
I see the stove industry keep pushing the misinformation that If you use seasoned wood there is no problem. They never mention the fact there is no safe limit of PM2.5 exposure & even an Eco stove burning perfectly seasoned wood is still 400x more polluting than a gas boiler.😷
Wood-burning stoves cancel out fall in particulate pollution from UK roads, data shows theguardian.com/environment/20…
Exposure to household air pollution from polluting domestic fuel (solid fuel and kerosene) represents a substantial global public health burden and there is an urgent need for rapid transition to clean domestic fuels. @TheLancet @WHO thelancet.com/journals/lanre…
Our recent Freedom of Information requests reveal: @SheffCouncil is the only local authority in the country to prosecute someone for smoke nuisance – but 467 complaints went unanswered. More action needed! #CleanAirNight #Sheffield 🙏@nowthenmag @SamMGreg nowthenmagazine.com/articles/new-s…
Lighting fires in our homes is the largest source of harmful small particle matter (PM2.5) in the UK. #WoodBurning Harms Your #Health #AirPollution #WoodBurning #Health #CleanAirNight cleanairhub.org.uk/clean-air-night Cartoon from amazing @CleanAirLondon @DaveyCartoons
