This Wednesday, 22 January, 2025 is Clean Air Night, when we will be helping to spark a conversation about the health harms of air pollution from wood burning in North East Lincolnshire.

 

Up to now, it’s been easy to associate the glow of a fire or wood burner with cosiness, but recent evidence shows that air pollution from wood burning is bad for your health. Wood burning smoke contains fine particle air pollution (PM2.5), which enters your bloodstream when inhaled and causes heart and lung disease, diabetes, and dementia.



Clean Air Night is an opportunity to learn the facts about wood burning and share what you’ve learned with your friends, family and community to ensure everyone can make informed decisions about how to heat their homes.

 

We will be taking part in Clean Air Night and you too can get involved by:

 

  • Learning the facts about wood burning and how it harms your health and the planet by visiting the Clean Air Hub and exploring #CleanAirNight

 

  • Sharing what you learn with your family, friends and community to spark conversations about the harms of wood burning and protect everyone’s health
