ITV This Morning doctor’s urgent ‘toxic’ log burner warning to two high risk groups

“We tend to think of pollution as something that is outside, but it can be something that is inside as well.”

And she warned that the younger you are, the greater the risk can be, particularly for babies.

Dr Kaye said: “It is something I would be considering when we think about babies in particular and how much they spend inside – what can you do to decrease risk? It could be looking at damp and mould, your wood-burning stove, all those things can affect the lungs.

“Babies’ airwaves are smaller, their immune systems are still developing and they spend a lot of time at home and sleeping. Babies and young children are most at risk, but then people at the other end of life are at risk too.
