Pollution
Sir, —I agree with Janet Holm, of the Clean Air- Society, about indoor t pollutants and smoking but, unfortunately, one cannot open one’s windows for a bit of fresh air in the winter without one’s nose being assailed by the stinking, cancer-causing fumes and smoke from the neighbourhood wood-burning stoves. I have often noticed while walking home in the evening in winter that the smoke from open fires rises upward into the ether while the smoke and fumes from enclosed stoves curls down under the eaves of the next door house. The simplest and cheapest solution to this would be to make the chimney pipes of enclosed stoves higher. They should be at least 2m higher than the highest roof ridge. — Yours, etc., D.' MORRISON. March 14, 1989.
