BurningIssues.org
provides public education about the medical hazards of exposure to wood
smoke and other fine particulate pollution. Smoke from residential
burning of wood and coal, wood burning restaurants and outdoor burning
of wood, leaves, crops, tires and debris is permeating our
neighborhoods, resulting in high ground-level concentrations of toxic
air pollution.
Clean Air Revival, Inc. is a non-profit 501 c3 volunteer organization dedicated to research and education on particulate aerosol pollution and its deadly effects on living things. We advocate life-long good health by breathing clean air and planned avoidance of smoke creation. |
All combustion results in very fine micro particulate and there is no safe level of this asbestos sized deadly debris. Solid fuels produce many orders of magnitude more smoke than cleaner fuels. | |||||||||||||||||
"Particulate pollution is the most important contaminant in our air. ...we know that when particle levels go up, people die. " (Joel Schwartz, Ph.D., Harvard School of Public Health, E Magazine, Sept./Oct. 2002) Being at home in a smoky neighborhood is as dangerous as driving in a car. The yearly death rate is comparable. Smoky neighborhoods pose an involuntary hazard that has gone on for decades. |
