Wood-burning health hazards are obvious

Q ...California has a civil code to protect us from the unintentional harm of others:

California Health and Safety Code Section 41700 41700. Except as otherwise provided in Section 41705, no person shall discharge from any source whatsoever such quantities of air contaminants or other material which cause injury, detriment, nuisance, or annoyance to any considerable number of persons or to the public, or which endanger the comfort, repose, health, or safety of any such persons or the public, or which cause, or have a natural tendency to cause, injury or damage to business or property.

My situation is when people do their laundry and vent into the air the strong chemicals now found in dryer sheets/fabric softeners.

I have to keep my house closed up, year-round, to avoid those "fragrances" coming into my house and polluting it.

My yard is off-limits all the time.

Those with lung problems and/or chemical sensitivities are especially harmed by these products.

Very few know of this as well.

The amount of control California's government has over private property is both stunning and appalling.

I looked at property there in November and the oppressive regulations convinced me to leave and find another state.

California is managed as a de facto fascist soviet socialist dictatorship.

Ther ARE health problems with wood burning.

I've gotten two stove burns on my wrists since November, after only burning 3 cords of wood.

Gotta be more careful.

We cannot all renounce everything that could possibly make someone sick.

True.

Our whole society cannot change for the convenience of a few.

It's happening all over!
