@ShioriSubmarine @LRNA11 @PatrickjaLee @adamvaughan_uk Thanks for sharing. It would be great to see a graph of the pollutants over time in the video. Also the EU PM2.5 guideline is 5 rather than 20 that the video seems to have. If you’re in contact with the video makers, please share my contact (DM me for email)

@StoveIndustry @ImpUrbanHealth “it's about how we improve & reduce pollution” you say. If that’s the case, then why aren’t you supporting electric heating solutions and improved insulation? You know this is the least polluting option, yet you never post about it. Be true to your word.

@StoveIndustry @ImpUrbanHealth Can you provide a source for your claim that the UK energy grid is overstretched? And how much does kiln dried wood cost for a typical heating season? And what percentage of kiln dried wood is dried using fossil fuels?

@StoveIndustry @ImpUrbanHealth Researchers from Surrey's Global Centre for Clean Air Research (GCARE) found that while improved cookstoves can reduce fine particles (PM2.5) by up to 65%, they can actually increase the emission of ultrafine particles. All wood burning is polluting.
