  Get priorities fixed. A wood stove creates 300 to 1200 mcg/m3 pm2.5 for hours plus 180 air toxics sickening people greatly. Large sources are supposed to be limited to 35 mcg/m3 pm2.5 ave for 24 hours. Wood smoke has a new safe dose 1/4 the ambiant pm dose. Stoves are doubling pm2.5 regionally but monitors are designed to miss hotspots and wood smoke pm. Pollution at houses is much higher ! 100 million people or more are exposed to illegal pollution that OMB and priorities do not allow to be investigated, researched, stopped, and prevented per DHHS essential services pollicy. Millions believe EPA is thus missing a new and emerging health and pollution problem and warming problem and mercury source. Change. Be nimble. Respond to emergencies. The emergency system is broken for wood smoke. Houses , cities are being engulfed in wood smoke. See www.woodburnersmoke.net .
