The IFS reported that the three largest sources of primary PM2.5 in the UK are domestic burning of wood, road transport, and industrial processes, with woodburning increasing significantly.
The rise in wood burning is concerning as particulate pollution is widely recognized as harmful to human health, leading to respiratory and cardiovascular diseases.
Children exposed to PM2.5 pollution are more likely to have reduced lung function and can develop asthma, highlighting the urgency of addressing wood burning emissions.
Despite laws requiring Ecodesign marked stoves and certified 'Ready to burn' wood, local enforcement of these regulations is minimal, leading to environmental concerns.
