研究发现,室内燃烧的木柴和吸烟一样伤害肺部。 Indoor wood burning harms lungs as much as smoking, study finds.

一项新的研究将室内木柴燃烧与相当于吸烟的肺损伤联系起来,发现使用者的肺功能比非使用者的肺功能下降速度更快,而FEV1测量的肺功能下降速度比非使用者要快,即使将吸烟和其他因素计算在内。 A new study links indoor wood burning to lung damage comparable to smoking, finding that users experience faster declines in lung function—measured by FEV1—than non-users, even after accounting for smoking and other factors. 研究人员分析了来自超过11 000人的数据,发现在2004年至2022年期间,木炉的使用率从10%上升到18%,用户每年失去的肺容量增加。 Researchers analyzed data from over 11,000 people and found wood stove use rose from 10% to 18% between 2004 and 2022, with users losing more lung capacity annually. 这项研究强调了PM2.5的风险和木柴炉灶释放的致癌物,敦促改善通风、更清洁的炉灶和更严格的保护公共健康条例。 The study highlights risks from PM2.5 and carcinogens released by wood stoves, urging better ventilation, cleaner stoves, and stronger regulations to protect public health.
