A New Clean Air Act?

At the height of Britain's Industrial Revolution, smoke from factory chimneys blackened the environment. Eventually, it was recognised that this pollution also seriously damaged people's health. The Clean Air Act was passed to largely change the 'dark, satanic mills'. Wood-burning stoves and open fires have now become very trendy in parts of England. These, largely decorative items (they are often not essential for heating), are now major sources of PM2.5 particulates. The World Health Organisation has identified particulates as having serious consequences on human health (especially on the very young and the aged). Asthmatics can be endangered by particulates. The burners will still be legal from May 1st but sales of their fuels will be regulated in England (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/may/01/house-coal-and-wet-wood-restrictions-come-into-force-in-england). The regulations placed on solid fuels will require them to have a low sulfur content and to emit little smoke. There will, consequently, be restrictions on the sales of coal, wet wood and manufactured solid fuels that can be burned in the home. What happens, however, if people forage the wet wood from their local environment? It will also be interesting to see how the situation is monitored and how strictly the new rules are enforced. What about barbecues and burning of scrub?
