Back to the low res camera today, but I just had to try and capture this filth. The smoke you see was dropping straight onto their neighbours house. Disgusting.

5 Bryan Street, Invermay, Launceston, Tasmania
Here is another serial polluter in Invermay, Launceston, Tasmania.
5 Bryan St, Invermay, Launceston, Tasmania.
What a joke the Launceston City Council can not see what we see. Are they blind. Are they scared. What is it Launceston City Council, why are you not able to see that this property is in constant breach of air quality law? You should stop this. Enough is enough.

24 Herbert St, Invermay
Sorry for the delay.
Here is footage of a serial polluter in Invermay. The council/government has no excuse for not prosecuting the owners of 24 Herbert St, Invermay. They pollute everyday of the week. It is impossible to pass 24 Herbert St, Invermay without getting a lung full of fine particulate pollution down your throat.
They are in breach of the law:
PART 3 - Emission of Smoke from Heaters, Fireplaces, Barbecues &c.
9. Emission of smoke from heaters, fireplaces, barbecues &c.
(1) A person who is the occupier of a building or land is not to cause or allow to be emitted, from a heater, fireplace, barbecue, hot water heating appliance or cooking appliance, smoke that –
(a) is visible for a continuous period of 10 minutes or more; and
(b) during that continuous 10-minute period, is visible for a continuous period of 30 seconds or more –
(i) in the case of a heater, fireplace, barbecue, hot water heating appliance or cooking appliance in a building, at a distance of 10 metres or more from the point on the building where the smoke is emitted; or
(ii) in the case of a heater, fireplace, barbecue, hot water heating appliance or cooking appliance that is not in a building, at a distance of 10 metres or more from the point where the smoke is emitted.

When filming the footage below, I was standing at least 20 metres away, and that smoke is still pouring out, at least a week later. It pours out daily.
Come on Launceston City Council, enough is enough, prosecute the polluters of 24 Herbert St, Invermay, Launceston. Show us you are serious about sorting out the woodsmoke issue in Launceston. Bribing people with cash handouts to replace the heaters that cause the pollution is not enough.
Fund smoke patrols and prosecute.

24 Herbert St, Invermay
The residents of 24 Herbert St, Invermay, Launceston, Tasmania are serial polluters.
The residents have a constant desire to pollute their neighbours. The interesting thing to consider is that they may even like their neighbours. They might be old friends, going way back. They have a lovely garden, well maintained house but unfortunately, when the residents of 24 Herbert St, Invermay close their doors and turn on their wood burner, they forget all that and start inflicting fine particulate pollution on everyone around them. Their pollution results in very fine particles being sucked into the lungs of anyone unfortunate enough to be near them.
In the morning, I will upload video of this polluting property.

37 Bryan St, Invermay, Launceston, Tasmania.
This is the first video post that shows the disgraceful pollution caused by selfish individuals polluting Launceston, Tasmania.
The people who live here are saying to you and me: "I'm warm mate, but stuff you and shame your baby's lungs are sucking in all my pollution from my dirty smoking chimney".

Last post on wood smoke health impacts
The following link provides information published by the Washington State Department of Ecology Air Program outlining the health effects of wood smoke: http://www.ecy.wa.gov/pubs/92046.pdf
I will not post anymore information on wood smoke. You have enough info to start looking this issue up for yourself.
From tomorrow, April 22, 2009, I will commence posting video of property in Launceston that are polluting mine and your families lungs, probably causing long term health impacts.
Enough is enough, there are enough alternative heating sources in this city to put an end to the burning of wood.
No more wood smoke in Launceston, Tasmania.
