It's a month until #CleanAirNight, a campaign that raises awareness of the impact of wood burning on #Health & #AirPollution.

People contact us every week due to being impacted by others' burning. Can you help us share the facts? Burning pollutes not only your home, but your local community too.
Clean Air Night
This Clean Air Night, learn the truth about wood burning and help protect yourself, your family and your community by sharing what you’ve learned.

How much #AirPollution is created when you burn wood?

👉 Defra approved/#Ecodesign stove = 400 times more polluting than a gas boiler.
👉 Open fire = 4000 times more polluting than a gas boiler.

Please think twice about burning if you don't need to.

A month today, Father Christmas will be busy squeezing down chimneys.

Did you know that burning wood produces benzene, formaldehyde, arsenic, mercury (& more)?

Help us protect Father C's lungs; please don't burn if you don't need to 🙏 .

Our latest research shows spot-on flea treatments on dogs are released into water when dogs swim even 28 days after treatment - in contrast to the label which suggests dogs can safely swim 48 h after treatment.
