Once these microparticles are released into our air they remain airborne and lethal for up to 3 weeks and up to 700 miles. Living in neighborhoods filled with acrid smoke is not much fun, or very friendly. Under the assault of woodsmoke, victims whose houses are filled with smoke beg the polluter to stop. In most cases the smoke assault is escalated. The burners are enjoying their trip and appear to be oblivious to the creosote fumes that go from their stack to their neighbors living room and bedroom.
Some burners incinerate garbage as well.
Our Foundation Clean Air Revival would like to see the marketing of air pollution as a lifestyle choice become as obsolete as a buggy whip. Unfortunately this is not the case in the rest of the country. I have personally monitored neighborhood smoke. Please consider that your fine organization will do very well in the market place without cuddly fire place pictures, or devices to implement this national tragedy.
