Utah doctors call for year-round ban on burning wood
"SALT LAKE CITY — As the weather gets cooler and many Utahns are firing up their wood burning stoves and fireplaces, some Utah doctors are calling for policy that will ban wood burning year round, not just on certain red-air days.
Dr. Brian Moench, president of Utah Physicians for a Healthy Environment, said it's a necessary action.
"We don't have a lot of options," he said. "We can accept our air pollution is not solvable, we can stop driving all our cars, we can tell industry to shut down, or we can stop burning wood.""
