The Government's consultation is a rare chance to directly influence how wood burning is regulated in the UK, from stove standards to warning labels and enforcement.

Have your say on wood burning policy 🪵

The Government is consulting on new rules for wood burning in homes. The decisions made through this consultation will shape how wood burning is regulated for years to come, from stove standards to warning labels and enforcement. 🏠

Great editorial in the Riverford food box this morning. If you're looking for a veg box, do consider. 🥕🍄🍅

Rise in percentage of homes with wood burners since 2022, analysis finds Greatest growth in rural areas as increase in homes with wood-burning stoves contributes to new air pollution hotspots

Delighted to see coverage of @‌globalactionplan.bsky.social's policy pathway towards a 2030 phase-out of wood burning in homes that have other forms of heating.

Burning is a major source of air pollution, with devastating health effects for burners and their neighbours.

Sad to see the government not taking the opportunity to ask for new homes to meet the best-in-class air quality standards.

If the government wants to allow wood-burning stoves as secondary heat sources in 'future homes', they need to ensure this only happens outside of urban areas.

I feel like you would benefit from learning a bit more about the charitable work we do. If you want to discuss this in detail, you can email me to set up a meeting. amandeep.kellay@urbanhealth.org.uk

Yes - sorry, it's tonnes, but as said, still comparable to other important sources of emissions. We have allocated funds to tackle woodburning. You can see some of this work here: urbanhealth.org.uk/insights/rep...

At IoUH, we focus on sources of air pollution (including woodburning) and the larger structural issues at play. Taking a holistic approach to improving air quality. (2/2)

Thanks for engaging. Woodburning has huge PM output; I'd ban the practice in urban areas if I could. I funded this project to determine the size polluting on-demand food & its potential to grow. At 20 ktonnes annually, it's not insignificant. Comparable to taxis and construction NRMM (LEAI) (1/2)
