King Charles III has been mentioned in public discussions around indoor wood-burning fires, as campaigners warn about potential health risks linked to the practice.
A report by the charity Global Action Plan highlights concerns over domestic wood-burning, saying it contributes significantly to air pollution and fine particulate matter (PM2.5) levels in homes and outdoor environments.
The organisation says exposure to PM2.5 has been linked in research to respiratory and heart diseases, as well as cancer, and is calling for stricter regulation or a possible ban on indoor log burning.
The campaign notes that wood-burning fireplaces remain common in many UK households, including historic and official residences.
UK regulations currently allow controlled wood-burning, but environmental groups argue tighter rules are needed due to health and pollution concerns.
