Statistics are wonderful
"Solid fuel stoves - wood and coal - cause 38% of Particulate Matter pollution"
Given that I believe there are no longer any coal fired power stations at all and all cities are virtually coal free where is all this burning of wood & coal happening?
I can't imagine that there's enough residential use of wood/coal out in rural areas to create more pollution than all of transport - presumably including diesel trains and HGV's?
I wonder who sponsored the report and what is their (vested) interest?
Happy for more info to help my understanding.
Andy.
