Research in Wales found that home, not outdoor travel, was largest contributor to children’s daily exposure Children living in homes with wood burners could be exposed to over three times more pollution than those in non-wood-burning homes. The results come from a study that looked at air pollution experienced by primary schoolchildren in Wales.

Ministers have also proposed cutting the limit on the smoke emitted from wood burners by 80%. However, the measure would only apply to new stoves, most of which already meet the stricter limit. The new limit would only cut the annual toxic emissions from wood burning in the UK by 9% over the next decade, according to the consultation. Continue reading...
