King Charles has been alerted to a serious health crisis in a new statement.
Many UK homes, including royal family palaces, have log fires inside; however, this practice is now linked to life-threatening illnesses.
According to Global Action Plan, a sustainable future charity, they have been calling for burning wood to be banned inside homes to avoid health problems.
Not only that, but home wood fires are also becoming a source of pollution, especially in the climate crisis.
King Charles is one of millions of people being warned about a simple home practice that has been linked to “respiratory and heart diseases and cancer.” Global Action Plan is a sustainable future charity calling for a ban on wood fires inside homes.
Open fireplaces are common in most royal residences. While current UK guidelines approve wood burning under certain regulations, campaigners are pushing for a complete ban due to its harmful effects.
The Global Action Plan website is shared. “In the UK, domestic burning contributes significantly to outdoor air pollution, with the largest source of pollution being PM2.5 (27%), one of the most harmful air pollutants.
“It is also a problem indoors, as homes with wood stoves have, on average, three times higher levels of PM2.5 than those without. Exposure to PM2.5 and smoke from domestic burning has been linked to respiratory and heart diseases and cancer.”
