Houtrook is een onbekend probleem in Nederland. Ik heb het vermoeden dat hier grote belangen achter schuil gaan. In de bijlage stuur ik u wat informatie, die u kan helpen om uw aanpak tegen Houtrook te ondersteunen. Een afschrift van de overheidswebsite emissieregistratie.nl waarin u kunt zien dat de bijdrage aan fijnstof PM2.5 door Houtrook groter is dan van het autoverkeer. ledereen weet wel zo'n beetje dat het autoverkeer zorgt voor schadelijke stoffen. Een overzicht van de overheid zelf dat door het verbranden van hout in huishoudens meer fijnstofvrij komt dan door het verkeer, opent de ogen. Bij het verbranden van hout komen verschillende voor de gezondheid gevaarlijke stoffen vrij, waaronder het kankerverwekkende fijnstof PM2.5 en benzeen. Ook zorgen de open haarden en houtkachels voor vele branden, die levens in gevaar brengen. Twee weken terug in Schalkwijk en vorige week in Vreeland. Er zijn weken dat er meer dan 50 schoorsteenbranden zijn in Nederland. In de provincie Utrecht rukt de brandweer 200 keer per jaar uit. Zie: http://www.rtvutrecht.nl/nieuws/1398923/schoorsteenbrand-bij-pannekoekenrestaurant-vreeland.html Uw eventuele reactie zie ik met belangstelling tegemoet.

The graph above (from the s e c o n d n a t i o n a l i n - s e r v i c e emissionş.study ( N I S E 2 ) ) shows Ín-service PM2.5 emissions for petrol vehicles The 2006-07 average PM2.5 emissions of 1 mg/km implies that a vehicle travelling 20,000 km will emit just 20 grams of PM2.5, less than the average domestic wood heater in the first hour afíer lighting ,

The abbreviations in the key: PV-S, PV-M and PV-L denote small, medium, large passenger vehicles; SUV-C and SUV-L denote compact and large SUV; LVC denotes light commercial vehicles.

For diesel cars, the Euro-5 limit is 5 mg/km {0.005 g/km). This is a more than 990

7o reduction compared to emissions of pre-1989 diesels, as discussed on page 3 of the peer-reviewed research paper: A i r p o l l u t i o n i n A u s t r a l i a : r e v i e w of c o s t s , s o u r c e s a n d p o t e n t i a l s o l u t i o n s

In contrast, real-life emissions of new stoves are little different from 1989. In 2013 Oregon, New York and five other states sued the USEPA because their" 2 5 y e a r s o f i n a c t i o n o n w o o d s t o v e e m i s s i o n s t a n d a r d s v i o l a t e s t h e C l e a n A i r A c t i ". However, progress has been slow. The n e w s t a n d a r d s reduce emissions to 4.5 g/hr in 2015 and 2.5 g/hr in 2020. However, the certification process is based on a correctly-operated stove burning seasoned wood. Real-life emissions are often much higher.

Falls. EPA-certrfication values of non-catalyöc stoves averaged 4.2 grams/hour, much lower than average real-life emissions of 9.7 grams/hr. EPA-certification values of catalytic stoves averaged 3.5 grams/hour, much lower than average real-life emissions of 13.8 grams/hr. As shown in the graph (left), there is little or no relationship between real-life emissions and those from the EPA-certification test. This is particularly true for catalytic stoves where the stove with the lowest EPA-certified emissions (1.6

grams/hr) had the real-life emissions of 24.1 g/hr.
