It's less than one week until #CleanAirNight, which is all about wood burning🪵🔥 A few years ago I helped @hwallop to measure the ultrafine particles indoor air pollution generated by woodburning stoves @cleanairdayuk @globalactplan thetimes.co.uk/article/are-w…

Are wood-burners really bad for our health? The invisible pollution inside our homes
