Flyer on wood burning in DE mailbox?
In Voorschoten, we are committed to maintaining good air quality. However, as a municipality, we cannot achieve this alone; we also need the help of our residents. Therefore, we are distributing an informative flyer in areas experiencing significant nuisance from wood smoke.
When a code orange or red alert is in effect, the national Stookwijzer advises against burning wood. Both neighbours and passersby may experience discomfort. This is because ventilation systems draw in outside air to provide homes with fresh air. Burning wood can then cause discomfort, especially for people with respiratory conditions. And there are more of them than you might think.
