The weather is lovely so this is just a small reminder to never have a BBQ in an enclosed area, e.g. inside a tent or even under an awning. Also, even if coals are cold enough to hold with your bare hands, they can still emit significant amounts of carbon monoxide. #carbonmonoxide

Our research is currently all about carbon monoxide and its impact on health, but I find it is not really possible to not pay attention to wider air pollution patterns.
