Pozimi kakovost zraka pogosto močno upade, še posebej v krajih, kjer se ogrevamo z drvi. V tem podkastu se Nina Tome iz okoljske organizacije Focus pogovarja s Špela Berlot Veselko, ki se profesionalno ukvarja s kakovostjo zraka in viri onesnaženja – prometom in kurišči – v organizaciji CIPRA Slovenija.

Špela pojasni, kako individualna kurišča vplivajo na naše zdravje in okolje. Raziskujemo tudi praktične korake, ki jih lahko posamezniki in skupnosti naredijo za čistejši zrak. Pogovor ponuja koristne nasvete, ozaveščanje in vpogled v sistemske rešitve za bolj zdrav zrak.

What do we breathe in winter? The impact of individual heating systems on air quality

In winter, air quality often deteriorates significantly, especially in places where wood is used for heating. In this podcast, Nina Tome from the environmental organization Focus talks to Špela Berlot Veselko, who works professionally on air quality and sources of pollution—traffic and heating systems—at CIPRA Slovenia.

Špela explains how individual heating systems affect our health and the environment. We also explore practical steps that individuals and communities can take to achieve cleaner air. The discussion offers useful advice, raises awareness, and provides insight into systemic solutions for healthier air.
