Burning
Issues -- Clean Air
Revival, Inc. provides public education about the medical
hazards of exposure to wood smoke and other fine particulate
pollution. Smoke from residential burning of wood and coal, wood
burning restaurants and outdoor burning of wood, leaves, crops,
tires and debris is permeating our neighborhoods, resulting in
high ground-level concentrations of toxic air pollution.
Clean Air Revival, Inc. is a non-profit 501 c3 volunteer
organization dedicated to research and education on particulate
aerosol pollution and its deadly effects on living things. We
advocate life-long good health by breathing clean air and
planned avoidance of smoke creation.
Mass Clean Air
-- Many people burn wood in New
England because it reduces our dependence on oil and gas, saves
money, is a renewable resource, and is aesthetically pleasing.
All of us need clean air to breath. The unintended consequence
of wood burning is wood smoke pollution. Much research has been
done on the effects of particulate air pollution (soot). In many
communities, the vast majority of this type of pollution comes
from local sources, including residential wood heating and trash
incineration. Mass Clean Air is an ad hoc committee created
to provide information to Massachusetts residents who are
concerned about wood smoke exposures, as well as for those who
use wood for heating and would like information about its health
and environmental effects.
Mother Earth News Forum
-- a message board focused on wood heating. A good place
to read commentary on the use of wood for heating and
performance of various products on the market.
Yahoo Groups: Wood Heat
-- This mailing list is for
those who heat with wood or are interested in learning more
about efficient, clean wood heating. We cover all aspects of
home heating with wood - environmental, equipment, joys,
problems, safety, performance, techniques, firewood production,
and encourage lively discussions which can help us all.
The list is a part of "The Wood Heat Organization"
(www.woodheat.org)
a non profit group dedicated to assisting public awareness and
improvement in renewable, responsible home heating with wood.
