German Researchers Find Fine Particle Emissions From Barbecues May Endanger Public Health

Fine particle pollution from barbecues may be dangerous to the public, German researchers warn

Most among us are aware there’s an ongoing campaign to herd humans away from meat and towards a diet that is more fit for cows. This , activists claim, would be much gentler on our weather and climate systems. Meat-eating is destroying the planet and it’s time people stop it.

Now German MDR public broadcasting here presents another reason why we should avoid meat – especially grilled meat: the summer barbecues are causing our air to be polluted with fine particles that are dangerous to human health!

According to researchers in Leipzig, measurements were taken by instruments carried around in backpacks in the cities of Leipzig and Dresden (Germany). At times, the pollution levels from barbecues were even worse than the pollution from busy street traffic, the researchers found.

According to the study leader, Jens Voigtländer,

“First we determined that on days on and around national holidays, during evenings often a rise in concentration could be observed, and that coming from areas near recreational places; that is small gardens and parks. The effects that we see are local and short-term. That means we see them on one day and a day later we don’t. It’s a very short-term impact. […]

Everyone should ask themselves if it’s good for the health to barbecue continuously or too often.”

Now we need to worry about the risks of summer barbecues that many of us very much enjoy.

The MDR doesn’t provide any background as to why such a study was conducted in the first place.

Cooking food indoors, and most indoor activities in general, also produce a great amount of fine particle pollution, likely in even greater concentrations. It’s rather a mystery why people are running around with super-sensitive instruments, looking for every speck of fine particle and then worrying that it could be a risk to our health.

    Nevermind that our ancestors had barbecues going basically every single day, 24/7, for both food and warmth…

    If they get their way destroying reliable power supply, we will all be barbecuing every day, if we like hot food.

      Part of their plan to send us back a few centuries so we can be like Third World countries being denied fossil fuels by the western elite.

    There was a recent report by the UK Met Office on particulates which for its data cited the US EPA. However, the EPA has NO evidence on PM2.5s since their report on the subject was conjecture and assumptions and contained no data to prove their conclusions.

    You gotta be sick and tired of the brainless elites by now.

    The elites should be more careful, they just could possibly become what gets barbecued.

    A stake, a cord of firewood, one elite, it’s game on. Yuval likes gaming on computers, lighting an elite on fire will be one killer game to play. If the peasants in France can do it, the useless eaters here and now can formulate a plan to make some elites think twice. The emissions will be permitted, no argument. There they were, gone.

    If Joan of Arc can be burned at the stake, if Bruno Giordano can become a crispy critter courtesy of the Pope, a few elites can win the burned at the stake lotto.

    By the way, after Joan became a charred mass of once live tissue and organs, her executioners were horrified to find her heart still beating.

    Klouse’s plan can go awry, just like everything else that’s not working too well in this god-forsaken world, his plan can turn to a pile of bovine excrement in a New York minute.

    Klouse’s well-planned actions are to be executed flawlessly, or so he thinks.

    Executed might work the best for Klouse.

    Talking of pollution!

    I read recently: “You know the delicious smell you get when you put your meat on to a hot barbecue grill? I wonder if vegans get the same enjoyment when they mow their grass?” Yep – there is SUPPOSED to be particulate emissions from a barbecue – it’s called ‘smell’ and it’s part of the enjoyment of meat!

    “Very short-term” “continuously…too often.”

    In what universe is this “science?”
