Wood Smoke Stories

House reeks of smoke

My neighbor’s chimney/Inside my kitchen cabinet. Wood smoke is toxic. PM2.5 is so small, it infiltrates into even well sealed homes. Long after he stops burning for the season, my house, coated in smoke, reeks.

Two photos together, one showing a chimney, the other black soot inside a kitchen cabinet next to drinking glasses.
