Researchers are calling for new wood heaters to be banned from urban areas and existing ones to be phased out after their study showed wood heaters could be killing up to 63 people a year in the ACT alone.
The study published on Monday in the Medical Journal of Australia found there were a similar number of deaths attributed to domestic wood heaters in the ACT each year as they estimated died prematurely in the territory due to the extreme smoke from the 2019-20 Black Summer bushfires...
"Some very big recent studies from the United States found higher rates of cancer, for example, in people who use wood heaters even seasonally."
Peter Irga, who lectures in air and noise pollution at the University of Technology Sydney, said while the study was limited by the use of only three air-monitoring sites, overall it was sound.
"Alarmingly, the estimated deaths and costs could in fact be underestimates, if you take into account the potential increased toxicity from PM 2.5 derived from domestic wood heater smoke," he said...
The ACT government is moving to phase out household wood-fired heaters by 2045 except in rural areas.
It came after a report by ACT Commissioner for Sustainability and the Environment Sophie Lewis found there was "no safe level of air pollution for human health" and the heaters had no place in the territory’s renewables future.

You don't realize how selfish heating with a wood fire can be? Don't you understand you are killing the children?
We must ban these wood fired heaters and heat with electricity from the now-frozen windmills if we want to keep the planet from bursting into flames.
(And you need to euthanize that puppy or kitty and get a pet hissing cockroach to battle climate change)
Do it for the sake of the children.
but a vaccine that kills way more than that is perfectly ok.
Something kills everyone. It should all be banned, apparently.
People freezing to death with no heat because utilities go out would kill a heck of a lot more than 63
Forest fires also declared illegal. Fines and sternly worded letters ready to go.
Help solve the problem: join the Human Extinction Movement!!
I’m going over to my neighbor’s house now and ask him why he’s trying to kill me. Luckily nobody seems to be having a BBQ today.

The WEF has some tasty recipes...
I think we need to ban pot and politicians as they kill FAR more people every year——I’m offended by the smells and the looks!
That thing evoked a toasty warmth that just can't be had with electric. It was the aroma of the wood burning downstairs in the basement, permeating throughout the house.
It was also hella fun to operate the chainsaw :-)
For those wondering, ACT = Australian Capitol Territory, and it includes the capitol city of Canberra, within New South Wales.
Australia?
Dried kangaroo dung should burn just fine.
So let’s see now....
Gas and oil - bad
Coal - bad
Wood - bad
Expensive electricity, in short supply, unreliable and controlled by outside forces via smart thermostats - good.
I’m thinking if starving us via inflation, supplies, and getting rid of farms and deadly “vaccines” and man-made viruses doesn’t work, we’ll have to comply by freezing to death, as the planet is “on fire”.
produce the autopsy’s...
First sentence: “Researchers…could…”
Reality: “Activists…make up…”
Ansd to illustrate the problem they show a picture of a modern enclosed and properly vented wood stove.
Anything to advance Unconstitutional Totalitarian Government Tyranny.
Thanks, I needed that.
Especially Dihydrogen Monoxide. Nasty stuff.
Thanks!
