Wood smoke stories from Australia

I have asthma and struggle to breathe throughout the cold months due to my neighbours’ chimney smoke…

From March to October I’ve had to tape up every window in our house to stop the smoke from neighbouring chimneys…

My quality of life declines as my right to breathe clean air is completely disregarded…

The smoke from a neighbour’s wood heater fills the house… Planned burns by government reduce the air quality for days on end…

I left the area, only to be faced with woodsmoke issues from wood stoves and fire pits in the new area.

…their chimney is at my eye level about 15 feet off my verandah, living room and bedroom…

…There are just so many wood heaters that as soon as the wind eases off we are swamped with smoke…

I never noticed how bad residential wood fire smoke could get until I moved to a certain Sydney suburb many years ago now.

…This is the result of “burn better.” It doesn’t work!
