Working in partnership to improve the quality of the air we all breathe in Wales
Burning wood generates air pollution both inside and outside homes, particularly PM2.5, which is one of the most harmful pollutants to human health.

That's why we are urging the Welsh Government to bring in stricter air pollution legislation

Warning over health risks posed by wood-burning stoves amid calls for tighter rules
A fireplace burning just 10 pounds of wood in an hour can release up to 4,300 times more cancer-causing particles than 30 cigarettes.

Wood burning is one of the biggest sources of fine particle air pollution in the UK, contributing to a range of health problems including heart and lung disease, diabetes and dementia. We all want to stay warm this winter, but cosiness shouldn’t cost our health. Visit cleanairhub.org.uk for more.

Tonight is #CleanAirNight where we raise awareness about dangers of domestic burning. A fireplace burning 10lb of wood for an hour can emit 4300 times more cancer causing particulates than 30 cigarettes. We need to discourage people from domestic burning to protect our health

Over 65,000 school pupils in #Wales are in neighbourhoods that breach WHO air pollution guidelines.

On #CleanAirDay we're calling for more ambitious air quality targets.

🌱Our children - all of us - deserve to breathe clean air.
