Wood smoke is a serious threat to public = health=20
Fireplace smoke is = major source=20 of winter time air pollution

SACRAMENTO: Today, the Air Resources Board heard the = results of=20 several studies that show smoke from wood fires aggravates lung and = heart=20 disease and increases the number of hospital admissions.

"Today's report to the Board = underscores the=20 need for air districts throughout the state to curtail fireplace burning = when=20 air quality is suffering," said ARB Chairman Mary Nichols. "This starkly = illustrates our need to continue reducing particulate matter=20 emissions."

At this morning's hearing, board = members heard=20 a presentation of research results that indicate exposure to wood smoke = may=20 reduce lung function and reduce the blood's ability to clot properly. In = addition, wood smoke exposure may also increase substances in the body = that lead=20 to cardio-vascular and pulmonary inflammation. These health threats = could be=20 particularly dangerous to those with preexisting heart or lung disease.=20

ARB research staff reviewed four = recent=20 national toxicological studies in presenting today's findings to the = Board. The=20 findings support fireplace ordinances that many local air districts = throughout=20 California are implementing.

The research found that wood smoke = can cause a=20 10 percent increase of hospital admissions for respiratory problems = among=20 children. ARB estimates that between 20 to 80 percent of ambient = wintertime=20 particulate matter is due to wood smoke. Studies have found up to 70 = percent of=20 smoke from chimneys can re-enter a home or neighboring = residences.

Wood smoke consists of several = pollutants,=20 including carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, particulate matter and = other=20 irritating and toxic components. California's wood smoke problem and its = pollution problem in general, are compounded by the state's geography = and=20 weather. The many valleys and calm air cause the pollutants to remain at = ground=20 level rather than be swept away.

In several areas throughout = California, air=20 quality officials are restricting residential wood burning on days when=20 particulate matter pollution is expected to be high. These and other = strategies=20 are substantially reducing wintertime peak particulate matter levels and = therefore should reduce the risk of cardiovascular hospitalizations and=20 premature deaths.

The Air Resources Board is a department of the = California Environmental Protection Agency. ARB's mission is to promote = and=20 protect public health, welfare, and ecological resources through = effective=20 reduction of air pollutants while recognizing and considering effects on = the=20 economy. The ARB oversees all air pollution control efforts in = California to=20 attain and maintain health based air quality = standards.
