Suppliers will no longer be permitted to sell substances with smoke emission rate of more than 10 grams per hour.
A national smoky coal ban will effectively come into force next year.
Strict new standards on all domestic solid fuels will be introduced, in an effort to curb air pollution beyond our towns and cities.
From 2022, suppliers will no longer be permitted to sell coal, coal-based products, any manufactured solid fuel or peat briquettes that have a smoke emission rate of more than 10 grams per hour.
It’s estimated 1,300 people die prematurely every year from the pollution from solid fuels.
