Clearly more training required for medical professionals. The stove troll boasts that many of his clients are medical doctors. (In the past many GPs smoked tobacco.) Is this "influencer" being paid by SIA to promote their burn better lies? Or just likes wood burning with no thought for neighbours?

“Modern log-burning stoves are sealed systems.” !!!???Perhaps try sealing the chimney then? Irresponsible article yet again only considering the health impacts for the polluter. Clearly being a medical doctor does not make him an expert on AQ or public health.

This Pollutionwatch is an interesting read about measuring exhaust fumes and the difference that the placement of an exhaust pipe makes.
This research also re-confirms that #Diesel vehicles still dominate exhaust pollution, even though newer models emit less. Fortunately, diesel is on its way out!

New research shows that if we stopped burning wood where another heat source is available, we could avoid more than 1500 premature deaths in the UK each year and save the NHS over £54 million in healthcare costs (the equivalent of 1.5 million GP appointments).
