Liz Poole Lily D'Ambrosio MP @DELWP_Vic @EPA_Victoria Dan Andrews I know how you feel Liz. Same here for us. We’re in a bungalow with a stinking wood burning stove right next door. It’s bloody awful.
Sarah Rees ForestFireManagement @EPA_Victoria Yes, sadly this is what every day each year in Autumn looks like now in the Yarra Valley: choked w smoke, distressing for locals & turning off tourists.
Marc and Bernie @SarahWhisar Cliff Douglas @EPA_Victoria @DELWP_Vic I've never seen a discarded ecig or parts in the decade I've been vaping. Ever. Except in my own trash. If that's starting to be a problem somehwere... well somebody pushed the vaping industry away from reusable devices towards discardable ones. Who was that?

But the comparison of population health data across decades has provided us causal associations to short- & long-term health effects.
World Health Organization (WHO) updated their #AirQuality guidelines in 2021 because they found there are no safe levels of #AirPollution .
Kate Forster @EPA_Victoria @DELWP_Vic Yes I’m a vulnerable person who got very ill suddenly yesterday 13/3/22
There was no warning!!!!!
The EPA need to warn Melbournians asap of smoke burn off . They are irresponsible and need to shake up their organisation and management.
Cllr Hina Bokhari AM 🔶 Clean Air in London London Liberal Democrats London Assembly Mums For Lungs Caroline Russell City of London to raise awareness on health harms of wood smoke. Please do this for Vic Lily D'Ambrosio MP @DELWP_Vic @EPA_Victoria Asthma Australia
cleanair @EPA_Victoria @morelandcouncil #AirPollution has no boundry.
This is a visible example that fumes from home chimney exhausted into open air within neighbourhood. I think health public professionals will better advise the level of toxic pollutants in the fumes coming out of chimney.

Every week neighbours living next to wood burners are exposed to carcinogenic PM2.5. It is constant harm to our bodies, &quality of life. Burn right does not work.Campaign & Ban fireplaces,firepits,backyard burning. Dan Andrews Lily D'Ambrosio MP Chief Health Officer, Victoria @EPA_Victoria
⚠️ Solid fuel combustion in residential areas must be addressed
This billowing backyard burn-off polluted an entire neighbourhood with no recourse: council officers are not available after hours or weekends
Preventing 🔥 & 💨 is the solution, not reporting AFT
#StopBurningStuff
arabella daniel (she/her) @EPA_Victoria Burnoffs on long weekends/holidays, with large numbers of people outdoors/camping, makes no sense. A general warning from ForestFireManagement before last night's hazard reduction burn in Dandenongs would've been greatly appreciated.
Environment Protection Authority Victoria EPA Victoria advice to communities to meet their GED: “reduce #woodsmoke ” by correct wood-heater operation ≠ NO SAFE LEVEL science
Even the most efficient modern eco stove has been found to emit 750x more PM2.5 than a HGV
Give communities THE FACTS:
#StopBurningStuff
Scott Murray BestFamilyCars.com.au Heather Merle 3AW Melbourne If wood heaters are insignificant can you explain how @EPA_Victoria #AirPollution Inventory shows that wood-heaters are the largest source of PM2.5 hazardous particulate matter?
▶️More than vehicles
▶️More than aircraft
▶️More than coal-fired power stations

Ingrid Stitt MP Mary-Anne Thomas MP Dan Andrews we need real action, not vague promises @deeca is working with EPA Victoria, when their staff tell us it’s burn as much as you can mentality
The burning season has begun. Residents cosying themselves in front of fires while the rest of the neighbourhood chokes on #woodsmoke . Our authorities @EPA_Victoria Lily D'Ambrosio MP Dan Andrews need to protect the lungs of our neighbourhoods.

@EPA_Victoria 💧🌱 wentworth falls Zoos Victoria I’ve said this for years! Every time I see the glee of partying people I feel for the wildlife! To a large degree the same can be said for the sick infatuation with firework displays…no thought of resulting debris/carbon spread across the landscape! 🤬🤷♂️🧙♂️
