@CMO_England It’s great to see @CMO_England’s annual report devoted to air pollution this year, particularly the focus on the need to improve indoor air quality by focusing on sources like wood burning stoves.
@CMO_England As contributors to this year’s report, @ImpUrbanHealth agree with @CMO_England’s calls for there to be greater awareness of the health impacts of burning wood indoors among the public. 2/
@CMO_England @ImpUrbanHealth Our work at @ImpUrbanHealth has found that the majority of people who burn wood indoors live in cities and most are not burning wood out of necessity. Many also don’t associate burning wood indoors with being harmful or link it with air pollution at all. 3/
@CMO_England @ImpUrbanHealth We must also remember that it tends to be the wealthiest who are burning wood, yet everyone, including the most vulnerable, experience the consequences in neighbourhoods and surrounding homes. 4/
@CMO_England @ImpUrbanHealth Air pollution is a challenge which demands a coordinated response that goes much wider than healthcare and public health authorities. We need to include urban planners, civic institutions, investors, employers and, most importantly, communities. 5/
