Clean Air Day is just over a week away, and one email could put #AirPollution on your councillor's radar. We've pre-drafted it. We've written a briefing to go alongside it. All you need to do is add their address and hit send. 👇 #CleanAirDay

An interesting read here. Councils are really up against it when they try to share public health messaging. Our thanks to @brighton-hove.gov.uk for raising awareness of the facts about air pollution. #WoodBurning causes #AirPollution. Fact.

It's 10 days till #CleanAirDay, the UK's largest air pollution campaign. Find out more about the campaign at the link - including an easy way to contact your councillor about being a clean air champion 😍 .

Nobody wants to stop necessary wood burning. Government support should be available to move people to cleaner forms of heating. The scientific evidence shows that wood burning is the most polluting way to heat your home. chronicillnesschannel.co.uk/uk-air-pollu...

The Medical Journal of Australia’s InSight Plus has published an article about Asthma Australia’s recommendation to phase out wood heaters. “We want people to understand that woodfire smoke doesn’t just affect the household using it — it impacts neighbours and entire communities.”

#Wildfires caused more financial damage in 2025 than in any other year, with catastrophic fires in the US, South Korea & Europe killing about 90 people and forcing roughly 300,000 to evacuate. Just wait until El Niño hits….. Time to become a #climate activist….

It's miles ahead of nearby cities. Strictest emissions standards were city-led. And as OP states, many roads have been fully closed to cars in Paris, given over to active travel - not many cities have dared be so bold, and it's proven hugely popular - health-boosting / life-saving / family-friendly.

Everyone needs to know Paris's air pollution story. It was just starting when I visited for my book Clearing The Air - a majorly polluted city in the 2010s. What it has achieved in just 10 years is a direct counterpoint to anyone claiming "we need cars for cities to thrives" - it's the opposite.

And the Ecodesign stoves still have higher emissions of lead than gas boilers. Not saying we should only use gas boilers, but if you only have a choice between wood burning, or burning gas..... choose the gas. Explore more UK GOV NAEI data here: bit.ly/4tEQKlP

Wood heating is reintroducing lead into the air of local communities and homes. Tricia Henegan said: “The most logical answer is that it comes from uptake in the soil ... and remains until that tree is burned.” My latest piece on research by UMass.edu www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Oh! "Study of samples .. suggests neurotoxic metal coming from wood itself rather than old paint" Another thing that Ecodesign stoves are NOT good for.

I don’t post text, but it’s important. Doctors know if Govt’s support private health care #NHS suffers. This study confirms it. “Labour’s policy of using private services to provide NHS healthcare resulted in “clear evidence of 2-tier system operating within NHS England to detriment of the poor”

The King's Speech follows hot on the heels of the local elections, so we're seizing the moment. We've written an open letter to the Prime Minister asking him to deliver a #CleanAir Act - one that protects our kids and ensures a healthier nation. Please sign and share! Deadline 10th May.

What a journey - from @jemimavivien.bsky.social's living room to the @hoccommittees.parliament.uk #AirPollution inquiry 💚 💥. If you haven't got involved yet, now is the time to join us! Head to the link or email us at [email protected]. mumsforlungs.org/get-involved

With all that’s going on in the world right now, I feel it’s really important to draw a distinction between ‘religion’ and ‘faith’. I’m not religious, but I have a humanist worldview which prioritises rational thought, empathy and kindness. I know many people of faith who hold similar values. 1/5

Fixed it ….

We are current;ly 77.5% powered by renewables, a pitiful 5% powered by burning imported methane gas, and yet the effing price is set by the effing cost of effing gas, I am effing fuming! Thanks grid.iamkate.com

New research from the University of York shows that reducing deaths from #AirPollution isn't just about reducing pollution levels. It's also about reducing people's vulnerability, with wider health improvements like better access to healthcare and promoting physical activity & healthy diets.

Renewables are cheaper. Renewables don’t pollute. #FossilFuel - one burn and they are gone. That ‘burn’ pollutes. Air pollution linked to >800,000 deaths/year in Europe. (And that’s not mentioning its effects on climate.)

Are you worried about #AirPollution in #Barnet? Would you like to see more done about it? If so, get in touch! We're seeking new volunteers in Barnet to expand our campaign for cleaner air and healthier children across the borough. More info at the link - then email us at [email protected].

Wishing you had a calmer, safer school run, with less traffic and #AirPollution at the school gates? Join us on Tuesday 28th April at 8:15pm to hear all about #SchoolStreets. You'll leave inspired to get the ball rolling with one at your school!

Clean Cities' new research has found that car club parking tariffs in many London boroughs exceed the cost of private car permits. This should be the other way around - people need affordable, convenient alternatives if they're to move away from the private car. #AirPollution #ZeroEmission

And here’s why it’s still happening… Money more important than people’s lives. Action now! All of us. Demand our Governments tell these companies to invest in renewables or they’ll windfall tax them.

Ultrafine particles are so small they enter the bloodstream & go everywhere. So dangerous. Wood stoves release them. Also UFPs can cause oxidative stress in skin & contribute to premature ageing & worsening of eczema. #AirPollution

What a shock......that burning stuff causes pollution!! [Sarcasm has been detected in this post]

Our founder @jemimavivien.bsky.social spoke to BBC Radio London earlier about the consultation on solid fuel burning, which closes tomorrow. "People would not be buying a log burner or running an open fire in their home if they understood what it did to their health, right?" Listen from 07:17 👇.

⚠️ Two days left to have your say on DEFRA’s solid fuel burning consultation. ⚠️ This is the moment! The moment to tell the Government about the impacts of #WoodBurning across the country right now. All info & help is at the link - deadline this Thursday, 19th. www.mumsforlungs.org/news/respond...

Today is #NoSmokingDay. Did you know that wood smoke contains many of the same harmful pollutants and chemicals as cigarette smoke? Research has linked higher wood stove and fireplace use with a 70% higher incidence of lung cancer. Can you keep your fire or stove unlit today? #NSD26

Can we spread this single piece of information around a bit, not just on Bluesky. Send a paper printout to your grumpy old 'net zero will make us all poor' Uncle, or Auntie.

Our final task: respond to DEFRA’s wood burning consultation - deadline 19th March. This is a rare chance to tell the government about the real-life impacts of neighbourhood burning. Our guide to responding: www.mumsforlungs.org/news/respond... Thank you to all our amazing #CleanAirCrowd!

Absolutely despicable behaviour yet again from the toxic stove industry. Bullying and lying to councils about campaigns that "were in breach of UK advertising codes" when no complaints are listed on ASA website. This is what an upheld compliant looks like!

Councils have a legislative imperative to protect the health of their communities. It should never be illegal. #WoodBurningHarms #AirPollution

The depths to which this despicable industry will sink really knows no bounds! Their profits always come before public health. Unbelievable! medicalxpress.com/news/2026-03...

"Low smoke doesn't mean low risk: all solid fuels found to emit ultrafine particles". New research has found that using “low-smoke” fuels results in a two to three-fold increase in ultrafine particle emissions. #WoodBurning #AirPollution

Remember to have your say on DEFRA’s solid fuel burning consultation. If you're affected by #WoodBurning, this is a critical moment to get your views across to the government. We've created some guidance to help you respond - the deadline is 19th March. Please share far and wide!

Very disappointing, the government is still completely missing the point! "Ready to Burn" wood and "modern" stoves are the problem in residential areas, not the solution! commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-bri...

Local elections are just around the corner. We’ve been busy meeting representatives across the country and supporting people to ask parties to commit to tackling #AirPollution 💪 We'd love you to get involved! Get in touch if you’d like help contacting your local candidates with our asks 💚 .

Along with many other people, we have a wood burning stove - but have stopped using it, after discovering how polluting they are.

Time to dump the #FossilFuels

🔥 Did you know that #WoodBurning releases tiny particles that get into our lungs & bloodstream, affecting families inside as well as neighbours outside? The government is consulting on cutting emissions from domestic burning. Please respond by 19th March, and share far and wide! #CleanAirCrowd

Congratulations to Hannah Spencer! We were pleased to hear Hannah speak about #AirPollution in her acceptance speech. As a candidate, she committed to working to clean up the air for GM's children, and we look forward to working with her as an MP on this. 👏

There are 4 days left to submit evidence to the @commonseac.parliament.uk #AirPollution inquiry. You have until 3rd March to submit evidence. 🙏

It's so good to hear that "the overwhelming majority" of #Sheffield's Clean Air Zone revenue is to go towards protecting children from the harmful effects of #AirPollution. Cycle training, cycle storage, 20mph limits outside schools and 19 new #SchoolStreets will be funded - fantastic to hear.

A reminder that the @commonseac.parliament.uk is running an inquiry into #AirPollution, after a successful pitch by our founder Jemima and Dr Nat Easton of @unisouthampton.bsky.social on behalf of the clean air movement. You have one week left to submit evidence to the inquiry. Deadline 3rd March.

Similar drama needed about air pollution. Don’t let the stove industry & HETAS keep marking their own homework. Its time for HETAS & Defra to lose their licence to poison neighbours with toxic fumes. @dsawsp.org @mumsforlungs.bsky.social have documented case studies of families devastated by smoke.

We're really excited that Jemima will be speaking at tomorrow's discussion on @srenvironment.bsky.social's new report on #AirPollution and its impacts on human rights. Sign up to join online tomorrow at 12pm. @granthamlse.bsky.social @gsos-lse.bsky.social

Stove Industry and it's members misleading the public again! #CleanAir #WoodBurning #Pollution medium.com/@ChronicIlln...

“In recent years, most emissions from domestic combustion came from households burning wood indoors, which contributed 12 per cent of total PM2.5 emissions and 6 per cent of total PM10 emissions in 2024.” So “modern” stoves built to get round Clean Air Act regs with no thought for public health!
