Wood-burning fireplaces and stoves create very little pollutant if they are maintained properly and used with dry, seasoned and dry firewood. However, if they are not maintained properly or are made of poor quality wood, the smoke produced by them can contain fine particles (known as particulate pollution) that can irritate the lungs and other organs. Carbon monoxide, air pollutants that are toxic like formaldehyde and benzene, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are also found in. Inhaling this kind of air pollution can cause lung irritation as well as wheezing, coughing, and asthma attacks. It can even cause serious health issues like cancer, heart disease or premature death.

Some people fear that using a wood-burning stove can cause climate change however this isn't necessarily true. Wood burning is a carbon neutral energy source. In the course of the life of a tree it absorbs carbon dioxide and when it is burnt, the carbon absorbed is released back into the atmosphere.

Since the wood is sourced locally, it reduces the amount of pollution that is released in the process of transportation. It is also important to use high quality woods that are seasoned and seasoned as they will have an extended and even burn than softwoods.

A wood-burning stove with a catalytic converter could be the best low carbon heating option. These units re-ignite the gasses and particulates from the initial combustion in a subsequent stage by mixing them with superheated air. The remaining gases and particulates are pumped through a catalytic combustion unit for a final third combustion. This reduces emissions to levels that are below the standards set by the government.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves are engineered to burn fuel with the best efficiency possible. This results in a minimum amount of particles emitted into the atmosphere when burning wood. The air management system of the stove controls the intake and venting of gases to ensure the combustion process takes place in a controlled and sealed environment. It also regulates the height of the flame to maximise heat output and minimise emissions.

This means that your chimney and surrounding area will be much cleaner than older stoves. Particulate matter (also known as particle pollution) from wood that is not fully combusted causes respiratory problems such as coughing and wheezing in people and contributes to the development of heart disease, stroke, diabetes and other serious health conditions. Wood burning can also contribute to poor air quality in cities.

The smoke from poorly combusted wood is a mixture of fine particulate pollution and hazardous air pollutants, including carbon monoxide volatile organic compounds, nitrogen oxides, benzene formaldehyde and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. These particles can reach deep into the organs of the lungs, causing damage, discomfort and even death. Airborne dust can also contaminate the surfaces in your home and give a gritty feel to rooms.
