Burning solid fuels – coal, peat, wood, briquettes – releases toxic particles to the air inside and outside our houses. Sometimes we see the smoke and soot hanging in the air, but often we don’t.

That’s why air pollution is sometimes referred to as the “silent killer“. But there are luckily ways you can reduce the risks of air pollution.

Think “ABC” 
A – Ask yourself: Do I need to light a fire? Can I use cleaner heating sources instead?
B – Burn Cleaner, more efficient, low-smoke fuels
C – Clean and maintain chimneys and heating appliances at least once a year
