  1. Fifth Street saw two fire emergencies Xmas morning, but the smoke in this photo was not from them, but from our woodstove, due to a micro-weather inversion. #fire #fireemergency #emergency #smoke #woodsmoke #woodstove #stove #smoky #temperatureinversion #inversion #weather

  2. New national data reveals the deadly truth about wood heaters in Australia:
    Hundreds of premature deaths every year are linked to wood-heater smoke.
    Researchers say the health toll rivals that of the black summer bushfires in some areas. There’s no safe level of exposure to pollution, yet governments still allow new heaters to be installed.
    Maybe itt’s time ban new installations and eventually phase out of existing ones?

  3. I've wanted to try an #Alpkit #Woodsmoke shirt for a while, but the price always seemed a bit crazy. Took advantage of their 20% sale weekend to give one a try. It does feel amazing. Like a smooth, soft flannel, but really stretchy; it's 5% spandex. Hoping it's worth it!! 😬🤞

  7. It's Easter weekend. The weather is expected to be a bit better than we've had through winter, and lots of people have holidays. So, is this a nice time to go cycling ?

    Unfortunately not in the Netherlands.

    Over the Easter weekend this country is held ransom by religious (and non-religious) lunatics who light absolutely enormous fires made up of assorted rubbish and these cause ridiculous levels of air pollution, especially of particulates, which blanket the entire country. The Germans also do this, so an easterly wind (which is predicted) doesn't blow the smoke away but just brings extra smoke from Germany.

    As a result of this you basically don't want to breath outside on the Easter weekend, let alone do any exercise which would make you breath deeper.

    There are fires planned for this evening, tomorrow evening and Monday evening. So there's no quick escape.

    The selfish people make Easter in the Netherlands almost as much "fun" as New Year's Eve !

    Completely unrelated story: There's also currently a well publicized national shortage of asthma medication, as if that's of any importance at all to the selfish smoke enthusiasts.

  8. Das @ZDF versucht sich an einem unvereinbarem Widerspruch:
    "Klüger heizen beim Kamin"

    Die Themen der nächsten Tage:

    "Ehrlicher sein als Politiker"

    "Ressourcen sparen mit Fast Fashion"

    "Platz sparen als SUV-Fahrer"

    und

    "Klimaschutz mit Eiswürfeln"

    🤪

  9. A Dutch government website tells people when weather conditions are such that burning wood is an incredibly irresponsible thing to do. Unfortunate, almost everyone ignores it. At the moment it's showing "code rood" for almost the entire country but the air outside is thick with smoke.

    Taking a breath is unhealthy because people keep heating their homes by burning wood. Instead of removing fireplaces from homes, people are installing them. Instead of spending money on insulating or efficient heating they're spending it on installing fireplaces, as if this is the 18th century and we have no other choice...

    As a result the air outside is unhealthy and your can't ventilate your home by opening a window. Unfortunately it's also unhealthy to seal your home so that no air comes in.

    I've started a DIY project of building a system to ventilate our home only with air that's been pushed through a HEPA filter with a fan. Thus far it's working quite well. No stink inside unless we open a door or window and reasonable co2 concentration.

  10. CW: The medical evidence of air pollution

    #AirPollution has sent many people to an early grave

    To paraphrase "Traffic-related air pollution (TRAP), coal & wood smoke pollution is ubiquitous in today’s cities, towns & villages
    & a major public health concern
    resulting in premature death
    & a wide spectrum of global diseases" doi.org/10.1016/B978-0-12-8191
