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.

Correct.
Because I have to breath that severely polluted air.
I do.
And they dare not say anything about it.
Karen?
Who is Karen?
Our county Air Nazis will issue you a $1,000 fine if you are caught using a fireplace or non certified wood stove, if your primary source of
heat is either electric or gas.
Pretty OBVIOUS that they plan to ban ANY OPTION that allows people to continue living in single family homes.
“ And they dare not say anything about it.”
Maybe not to your face.
But I’m sure they’re saying plenty.
L
Many depend on this for heat. Heat pumps not effective below zero temps and cost a fortune. These bastards want us dead.
Old age kills a significant number of people.
So we need to ban old age.
How???
Kill them off before they reach old age.
(PS Covid is doing this.)
Or ban birthdays, or banish the calandar, or decree that your age maxes out at, say, 55, and stays constant after that.
Where is Fauci when we need him?
Or it could not be happening!!
This is a culling. Of the stupid.
A chimney on a fire place drafts smoke/etc out of the house because of its draft. Anything else lets smoke/etc go around the house killing the stupid people who can’t tell that something is wrong ‘cause it smells like something is on fire in this room!!
Morons do this alla time with charcoal briquets. The bloody things make loads of monoxide. Don’t use them inside.
I simply do not care.
A lot more folks than that are killed by governments.
You are a Karen.
The Aussies, who control Australia, are worse Nazis than our Nazis.
Seems like 63 is down in the statistical noise. I mean, how many other factors might there have been? Any smokers? Poor diet? No exercise? I have doubts that this can be *proven* but even so, 63? Is 63 a number worthy of a ban?
...now let’s talk about cars. ;p
“For those wondering, ACT = Australian Capitol Territory, and it includes the capitol city of Canberra, within New South Wales.”
THANK YOU!
How many would die of cold?
Why is it that Anglos such as Americans, Brits, Scots, Irish, Aussies, Kiwis, etc. are some of the most anti rights, commie wanna be dictators in the world? Why can’t they just enjoy what they have without trying to ruin it for everybody else? Is it because they have guilty conscience white man disease?
Before FDR died, he and Churchill set up the 5 Eyes organization to supposedly protect us. They have evolved into fascists, who control us 24/7 with B$ like this.

WTF is the ACT. I need to know so I can decide whether to care or not.
