Professorn i miljömedicin vid Umeå universitet, Bertil Forsberg, ska forska mer om den ohälsa som följer på vedröken, speciellt dess långvariga effekter. (Det kommer väl att ta åratal?)
Naturvårdsverket har beviljat anslag och man bedriver undersökningen tillsammans med Svenska miljöinstitutet och SMHI.
Äntligen ett hälsoperspektiv! Fast finns det inte redan tusentals med rapporter om vedrök och ohälsa? Vad mer bevis behövs??

Vedrök och hälsoeffekter. Familjer för ren luft.
I USA informerar EPA (ungefär
som vårt Naturvårdsverket) om vedrök
och hälsoeffekter på sin hemsida. (klicka)
Där finns även en lång lista på referenser (rapporter).
Families for Clean Air (klicka) har också en referenslista. Det är bara till att läsa:

Wood smoke: Know the Facts
Wood Smoke…
Wood smoke: Know the Facts
Wood Smoke…
1. Violates the property
rights of others to use and enjoy their property smoke-free.
*
*
2. Contains many of the
same toxins that are in tobacco smoke. These include lead, mercury, arsenic,
benzene, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), carbon monoxide and
dioxin(s), “some of the most insidious chemicals known to man.” (Harvard School
of Public Health). They also accumulate in the environment.
3. Is implicated in
asthma attacks, heart attacks and premature death in people of all ages,
including sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
*
*
4. Violates the Americans
with Disabilities Act (ADA) Guidelines by presenting a “barrier” to those with
disabilities such as asthma, preventing them from accessing public spaces.
Parks, bike paths, playgrounds, sidewalks, outdoor sports and public gatherings
are often inaccessible and unhealthy, due to wood smoke.
*
*
5. Stresses everyone’s
immune system. Children, the elderly, and those with asthma, lung or heart
issues, diabetes or other disabilities are among the most vulnerable.
*
6. Is a major source of
black carbon soot fine particulates, which are bundled with cancer-causing and
hormone-disrupting chemicals.
*
7. Is implicated in
reproductive birth defects and childhood diseases including asthma, pneumonia,
cancer, autism, Asperger's Syndrome, allergies and other disorders.
*
8. Interferes with the
seeding of rain and moisture in clouds, and also accelerates the melting of
glaciers (www.burningissues.org/car-www/science/Climate/index.html) and
www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2009/apr/20/black-carbon-emissions).
*
*
9. Burning wood is an
increasingly serious fire hazard. Please don’t burn wood!

Eldsvådor av kaminer och miljööverdomstolens dom
Enligt tidningen "Villaliv" nr 8/2011 orsakas de flesta eldsvådor av kaminer och öppna spisar.

Miljööverdomstolen har nyligen dömt i ärende angående vedeldning i en kakelugn. Domen blev:
Eldning får inte ske när vindriktningen ligger mot grannfastigheten (klaganden)

Miljööverdomstolen har nyligen dömt i ärende angående vedeldning i en kakelugn. Domen blev:
All eldning förbjuden perioden 1 maj – 30 september .
Under tiden 1 oktober – 30 april får eldning ske vid ETT tillfälle per vecka
Eldning får inte pågå mer än fyra timmar
Endast torr och ren ved får användas
Eldning får inte ske vid inversionEldning får inte ske när vindriktningen ligger mot grannfastigheten (klaganden)
Eldning ÄR hälsofarligt och grannar får ej störas av vedeldande partens vedrök.
