Woodsmoke is the prime culprit driving spikes in sooty, toxic air that's leaving Seattle and Tacoma residents gasping for breath. The health costs associated with burning wood may make you think twice about how you heat your home.
"convincing" statistical healthscare PR stuff "experts" call science! Toxic? Yeah, ok, if the wood is green, painted or chemically treated in anyway. Typical seasoned log wood is non-toxic and in concentration is classed as an irritant - similar to pollen. It's a PR stunt to offset attention on big industry pollutants. Big statistical (epidemiology) studies have been done to prove a theory, to convince the public, without actually "proving" the theory by using acurate scientific methodologies.
