🆘 World Asthma Day today Tuesday 7 May - & look what our government policies are allowing us to wilfully do to our precious air - burn our forests in the open landscape or inside wood heaters

We have had 6 consecutive days of almost continuous highly polluted air from smoke🤷🏽‍♀️

Remember! This week is the Air Quality Awareness Week 2024. Let’s work together towards a better environment with clean air for all!

“Wood heating is responsible for 92% of fine particulate air pollution in Massachusetts’ heating sector…even though only 12% of homes in the Commonwealth burn wood…”

Now 3 consecutive days of high levels of hazardous smoke #AirPollution for millions of Victorians- and no end in sight with more planned burns scheduled

I was forced to be in this air with my daughter for hours at a community planting day we’d scheduled weeks ago

WTH⁉️🆘❌🔥

Adrienne Williams Even when they are operated correctly, they are exponentially more polluting than other heat sources.

No sign of clean air it’s been days now of smokey conditions. There is no safe level of pm 2.5 pollution. Environment Protection Authority Victoria what are you doing to protect us? Stop these planned burns and regulations for wood heaters need to be changed! We shouldn’t breath toxic air all autumn/spring

StoveIndustry You forgot to mention, consider your #Health & the #Health of your neighbours.
#WoodBurning is highly polluting, there is no way to burn wood cleanly & the health impacts are very serious. There are cleaner alternatives, it's the 21stC.

Victoria is incinerating Greater Gliders in the name of planned burns (infernos). Now NSW is logging them to death. What hope is there for these animals Tanya Plibersek?

I was on ITV News this evening to talk about how Gatwick’s proposed expansion would create more ultrafine air pollution that is linked to cancers, diabetes, dementia, and strokes.

Ultrafines are not legislated for yet but, when they are, airports will have to scale down flights

It sure is! dsawsp.org/secondhand-smo…

arabella daniel (she/her) Hard to say since no two people react exactly the same way, but I can say with relative confidence that every person and animal exposed to it is suffering permanent health damage and (for some) premature death...

2 solid days of high particle pollution from wood heaters & planned burns smoke #airpollution across a city of millions of people, and beyond

What levels of harm is this causing?!

Steve Dimopoulos MP & Tanya Plibersek, why have you not taken any action to protect our communities from the well known health impacts of domestic #woodburning ?

Great clip outlining the harm caused by ACT wood heaters. ACT Health and other ACT Government departments should promote the video instead of the confusing ‘burn right tonight’ material that risks misinforming people that wood heaters can be used safely. Rebecca Vassarotti MLA for Kurrajong

Wood heater smoke contains many pollutants that are harmful to human health, such as particulates, nitrogen oxides & carbon monoxide. HEAL researchers estimated the health impact of wood heaters in ACT to be 11-63 avoidable deaths each year. Watch video: youtube.com/watch?v=ho0J-p…

ForestFireManagement has us surrounded by fire again. Pretty much all of vic in poor air quality. Environment Protection Authority Victoria ABC Melbourne ABC News Chief Health Officer, Victoria how is this ok? Think of all our kids at school’s breathing this smoke. there is NO SAFE level of pm2.5 pollution!
