Pollutionwatch: citizen science helps raise alarm on UK #AirPollution Last year Mark Tebbutt installed #Chorley’s seventh air pollution monitor. Since 2013 Tebbutt, his family and friends have been buying and operating their own air pollution instruments.

Regulators and others often treat wood smoke pollution as a “nuisance” issue. But is it?

@JillBelch Now much worse using 2023 data with new emissions factors

I was experimenting with the new PurpleAir settings today and spotted something striking in #Brinscall . The annual PM2.5 #AirPollutuon level is only about 7 µg/m3… yet the particle count at 0.3 µm is one of the highest anywhere in #Chorley . That combination of low PM2.5 mass

I have been looking through the expanded reporting options on the PurpleAir map and noticed they have added a metric that expresses PM2.5 as the equivalent number of cigarettes smoked per day. Using the annual average setting, most people living near the monitor locations in

@Chorley_Air @JillBelch @AirFairy04 Yes and also limited to average pollution levels, so wont model the asthma attacks, heart attacks, etc caused by hyper local dangerously high peaks.

Western Australia’s grid just hit 100% wind + solar multiple times on Sunday morning. Batteries soaked up 443 MW of excess while coal/gas idled. To the “renewables can’t run a modern grid” crowd: your meme just aged worse than milk in the sun. https://t.co/q7Q1jpxHqa

Antibiotics sprayed on crops. PFAS approved for commerce. Carcinogens kept on the market. The EPA isn’t protecting the public. It’s protecting the industries driving both a public-health crisis and an insect apocalypse.

@AlexaDWilson It is an absolute joke at the moment. Is the stove industry holding the Govt hostage? In the meantime what are councils doing apart from fining their residents over ridiculous LTNs.

#CleanAirEU | London’s nine phases of LEZs and ULEZs slashed nitrogen dioxide (NO2) concentrations by 25-50%. We did it by making the political cost of inaction greater than action! HT @SadiqKhan https://t.co/OX8Ip8UXho

#CleanAirEU | @thecccuk's longstanding advice is that Government should phase out #WoodBurningStoves. See page 2 https://t.co/NGXGwo3xQI and https://t.co/plWfiQ2MlQ. Also page 19 https://t.co/DDuOPYpwaS

#CleanAirEU | Inspiring speech by @EU_ENV about their evaluation of the National Emissions Ceilings Directive #NECD. Key lessons: strengthen implementation; tools exist; and we need action to achieve 2030 commitments eg ammonia and wood burning. Details https://t.co/36Yuh0ER74

Ever thought you’d see the day when wood stoves #polluted more than power stations? Burning wood harms health. Harms you, your children & your neighbours. Don’t do it…

At last! Govt act on middle class fashion accessories that poison neighbours. “In some places, won’t be possible to use wood-burning stoves at all.” Expect squeals, fightback from pollutionists. By my excellent colleague ⁦⁦⁦@horton_official⁩

Poor America Pursuit of money at any cost. This is what happens when politicians are funded by big business. Deregulation is at the core of ReformUK economic agenda - it has recently made deregulation & reducing “red tape” central to their platform #Pollution
