'Reading Borough Council is looking to expand a "smoke control area" to the whole town - it currently covers 62% of the borough.'
'It said households that emit more than "a substantial" amount of smoke would face fines...'
'It has estimated that 22 to 38% of all damaging particulate emissions (PM2.5) in Reading are caused by the burning of solid fuel, like wood or coal.'

There's something about the soil in the Northeastern US (and perhaps Canada) that allows trees to take up more Cesium-137 (and other radionuclides), which are bound up into the wood until it is burned, which releases radiation into the air.
Paper: #Cesium-137 in Wood Ash Results of Nationwide Survey
Andrew Hodgdon, et al., July 1991
"Data from 11 New England ash samples (Cs-137 mean measured at about 12,000 pCi/kg, K-40 mean measured at 80,000 pCi/kg) suggest Cs~l37 levels in trees are significantly higher than other regions of the United States. General ambient soil concentrations in New England are approximately 480 pCi/kg Cs-137 and 11,000 pCi/kg for K-40. This indicates a general New England ash to soil ratio of about 7 for K-40 and 25 for Cs-137, implying a Cs-137 uptake of 3.5 times that for potassium. Factors which affect cesium uptake and uptake factors for use in radiological modeling are reviewed."

"... scientists say that climate change is making weather conditions like heat and drought that lead to wildfires more likely."

Watch out, New York City, just because the sky's not yellow, doesn't mean it's safe to be out, especially without a good mask.

The world is burning. At this point, should not be an abstract concept anywhere, anymore. 🙁 Time to act to mitigate/reduce global warming/climate change = now... Really, it was several decades ago. 😡

Here's look at the latest #PM25 dataset for #Thailand from #StateofGlobalAir,
1. UCL PM2.5 = 31.7 ug/m^3
2. UCL PM2.5-related xs deaths = 43400
3. UCL PM2.5 - 32% above #ASEAN levels, 271% above levels in W #Europe, 390% above levels in #Australasia, and 411% above #NorthAmerican levels. Along w/ #Cambodia and #Myanmar, Thailand has among the highest average yearly levels of #toxic #particulate #airpollution in #SoutheastAsia. #badAQIkills

#Race- and #ethnicity-based discrepancies in #exposure to #airPollution, especially regarding proximity to #roadways and #industrialZones, are well-established. A new study reports the first nationwide patterns in #atmospheric fine #particulate #pollution and #nitrogenSioxide exposure at U.S. #publicSchools.
