For designers; it makes me really sad the terrible choices people make

These are wood stoves though, so not really comparable to an oil boiler. The equivalent to an oil boiler is a biomass boiler, and the efficient ones of these are sub 2.5 g/GJ now. 

I am not sure, printed out the report and intend to read it on the weekend.

Good post. I remeber Jeremy saying that running your average log burner was like having 300 diesel cars outside your house ticking over. On that data, that doesnt look to be that far wrong as far as PM_2.5 is concerned.

 

And the goverment wants gas boilers gone..........................................

Vehicles provide a chunky contribution to this problem.

 

Air pollutants from exhausts have improved but my understanding is that tyres, brakes etc have continued to cause problems. Jeremy's 300 diesel cars may have arrived by magic. 

 

Wood burners have no place in urban environments and should be banned. 

 

A few wood burners in an isolated rural community is perfectly fine. Vegetation being grown sustainability is a great way to improve air pollution. 
 

If you live in an Urban environment the best thing that can be done is to use your vehicles less.

They have no place in the rural environment either.
