[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in the city in a rowhouse and the smoke pollution in my home is awful. There is no way to stop the smoke pollution from coming in the house and I have young children. For those who don't know, wood smoke is highly toxic. Someone on our block must be using a wood burning stove nonstop. [b]In other cities, certain restrictions have been enacted regarding wood burning.[/b] Does anyone know if this is true for DC or who I can contact regarding the problem? [/quote]

San Francisco and parts of the pacific northwest have many intrusive regulations into peoples lives.  Perhaps you should house hunt there?  They even have a mandatory thing you must hook to your thermostats which do not let you go above or below a certain temperature.  You would likely find yourself very much at home in one of those places.  Good luck with house hunting![/quote]

I'm in San Francisco. We have "spare the air" days, when during certain types of weather we are asked to not use fireplaces and to walk or bike when possible, and to use mass transit if not possible. There's no enforcement of such things. [/quote]
