For wood stoves & fireplaces, UK government advice focuses on "burn better" rather than not burning at all. But 200,000 new stoves were sold in 2022. For my latest @guardian piece I talked to researchers who tested a different approach in Sheffield. theguardian.com/environment/20…

Wood smoke contains most of the same harmful carcinogens as tobacco smoke, but in much greater quantities. Let's tackle smoke from #WoodBurning too. To order free posters: mumsforlungs.org/news/wood-burn…

Proud to have contributed to this study during my PhD with @Jwheydon @granthamcsf, co-designing a voluntary burn alert system trialled in Sheffield. It showed real potential to reduce wood & coal burning. Thank you @DrGaryFuller for covering theguardian.com/environment/20… #AirPollution

The hidden lifelong legacy of childhood #AirPollution exposure. New research shows that the damage from air pollution breathed as children may only manifest in adult life. My latest piece for @guardian. theguardian.com/environment/ar…

Climate experts were increasingly saying that keeping heating below 1.5C is near impossible, yet it remains the global goal. So I asked hundreds of top IPCC scientists what they thought. What they said shocked even me… 🧵 1/n #ClimateCrisis

"Between 9,000 & 10,500 steps a day cut risk of early death by 39% & risk of a heart attack or stroke by over a fifth." We need to redesign our cities so walking (& cycling too) is the easiest way to travel. Piece by @tobithomas_ Study on @UKBIOBANK theguardian.com/society/2024/m…

Let's stop pretending this isn't an issue. Wood-burning stoves cancel out fall in particulate pollution from roads in UK. theguardian.com/environment/20…

@rcrohit7 @BBCLookNorth @ShefUniNews @AirRated_ @granthamcsf @CivilSheffield @Jwheydon I see the stove industry keep pushing the misinformation that If you use seasoned wood there is no problem. They never mention the fact there is no safe limit of PM2.5 exposure & even an Eco stove burning perfectly seasoned wood is still 400x more polluting than a gas boiler.😷
