Some time ago, I stated that in my opinion, the extra pollution in the atmosphere causing fogs was at least partly due to the newish 'fad' of wood burning stoves.
I see now (Sky News yesterday) that the mighty Khan has come to the same conclusion in London.
History: My theory was that the smogs of the '50s which a few of you may remember were caused by coal fires both domestic and industrial (gas was produced by part burning coal as well as electricity being generated by it) and the development of 'smokeless' fuels in the late '50s'/early'60s almost stopped this. As coal is actually wood, burning wood is taking us back to the 'unrefined' coal burning era.
