We live in Stoke on Trent which is a smoke control area. The very large house behind me often has four wood-burning stoves going at any one time, all day every day…
…I have significant heart disease and cannot believe there aren’t more laws to protect people from this pollution… The Burn Wise initiatives are a complete joke…
…their chimney is at my eye level about 15 feet off my verandah, living room and bedroom…
…His wood burning makes our entire apartment smell like smoke even when all of the windows and doors are closed…
…Our problems started in 2007 when a close neighbor started outdoor burns in his backyard using a vintage wood stove with an attached, homemade 4.5' smokestack…
…Three air purifiers in the house, no ventilation possible, caused mould for the first time ever… Soot on the walls. Washing smutted…
…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.
I would like to share my own personal experience breathing the emissions from a nearby pellet stove about a decade ago…
