Cancer League/Lung League: Youtube film explains how to cheer
A significant portion of fine particulate matter is caused by wood-burning stoves that are not operated correctly during the winter months. The Swiss Cancer League and the Swiss Lung League have therefore launched a joint online campaign on the topic of «Burning Wood Correctly.».
Warming fires are very popular in the cold season. However, if the fireplace or Swedish stove is not lit correctly, harmful substances and in particular particulate matter are released. With a YouTube film, the organizations therefore show how pollutants can be reduced with simple measures when lighting a fire. The film "Flirting with a gas mask" is available on the organizations' websites and on Facebook present. The campaign was developed in collaboration with the Campaign Forum.
