Why focus only on wood smoke?
Because more than half of PM2.5 emissions in Quebec are due to wood smoke and no one else really cares.
Because other organizations fight against other major sources of atmospheric pollution such as industry, transport or fossil gases.
Because we believe it is more effective to focus our actions on a single source of pollution rather than wanting to tackle all sources at the same time.
Because this is a controversial subject where many individuals are very attached to burning wood, public health authorities are hesitant to tackle this issue head on.
Because some sources of pollutant emissions already have bad press in the media, including industry, transport, forest fires and fossil gases.
