Mental distress

I can’t breathe due to my asthma and allergies… everything smells like wood smoke…

…I was closing internal doors, using wet towels under the gaps below the doors and retreating to the least affected room….

I am an elderly person who has suffered from wretched chimney smoke for over 10 years now… It’s like living in some kind of hell.

My children and I are currently prisoners of our home due to our neighbours’ fireplace…

I have next door neighbors who have a fire pit in which they burn brush and yard debris 4 to 5 days a week for 6–12 hours a day…

So we pay the price for ignorance, poor ordinance, years of fighting for our property rights, the stress, the duress, the financial burdens, and now the physical death of my husband…

Our lives and health are no match for the money-making business of wood-fired pizza…

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

Our neighbour installed a wood burner where the flue exits close to our main bedroom window…
