I am commenting with regard to recreational files (in this case: Thurston County) I wish to remind the regulators/law makers that WOOD SMOKE IS 12 TIMES MORE TOXIC THAN A CIGARETTE. (Not double: twelve 12 TIMES!) Wood smoke is a tiny part...↓iculate (as you likely know) that can lodge deep in the lungs and in a worst case scenario remain there. Additionally: the smoke from "others" fires intrudes into the breathing air of innocent people trying to be healthy. Due to the particulate size it is a fact that wood smokes goes into homes even with all the windows and doors closed. Given it is a known carcinogenic, and literally 'impossible' to avoid someone has a "recreational" fire...I feel it is negligent to the planet; to our breathing air; and it is toxic. As with cigarettes: I hope for a day when enough people are educated and MOTIVATED to take our BREATHING AIR seriously and NOT allow a small minority to pollute others air and to harm their health. Please persist in REDUCING wood smoke (fireplaces, wood burning stoves, AND "recreational" fires. It is insane to find those fine 'recreational' In fact: they are toxic pollution that harms and sometimes kills people. That's reality and factual. Please STOP INNOCENT PEOPLE FROM HAVING TO BREATHE THE SMOKE OF OTHERS. Thank you, Patricia Davis↓
