TL;DR
Clean air advocates in Montreal are calling for a bylaw to phase out polluting wood-fired ovens in restaurants. They argue that these ovens release harmful particles and gases into the air, contributing to local air pollution. The proposed bylaw would require restaurants to upgrade their ovens to cleaner alternatives within a certain timeframe. However, restaurant owners are concerned about the costs associated with such upgrades.
