Fireplaces and wood-burning stoves cause very little pollution if they are properly maintained and are used with dry, seasoned and dry firewood. If they aren't maintained properly or make use of wood that is not of high quality, the smoke that is produced is a result of fine particles, commonly referred to as particulate pollution that can cause irritation to the lungs and other body organs. Carbon monoxide, air pollutants that are toxic such as benzene and formaldehyde, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are also in the. Inhaling air pollution can cause irritation to the lungs and cause asthma attacks, wheezing, coughing and irritation of the lungs. It could also cause cancer, heart disease or premature death.

Some people are worried that wood-burning stoves can cause climate change however this isn't true. Burning wood produces energy that is carbon-neutral. The wood absorbs carbon dioxide throughout its life. When burned the carbon dioxide is released into the air.

Since the wood is sourced locally this decreases the amount of pollution that is released in the process of transportation. It is also essential to select high-quality woods that are seasoned and seasoned as they will give a longer and more even burn than softwoods.

A wood-burning stove that has a catalytic converter or hybrid unit could provide the most efficient low-carbon heating solution. These units re-ignite gases and particles released from the initial combustion in a second phase by mixing them superheated air. They then funnel the remaining gasses and particulates through a catalytic combustion combustor for an additional and final combustion, the reduction of emissions to levels much lower than the standards set by the government.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves are engineered to burn fuel with the greatest efficiency that is achievable. This results in minimal emissions of particles into the air when burning wood. The air management system of the stove controls the intake and ventilation of gases to ensure the combustion process occurs in a safe and controlled environment. It also regulates the flame's height to maximise heat output and minimise emissions.

This means your chimney and the surrounding area will be cleaner than older stoves. Particulate matter (also known as particle pollution) caused by incomplete combustion of wood causes respiratory problems such as coughing and wheezing in people and contributes to the development of heart diseases as well as stroke, diabetes, and other serious health conditions. Wood burning is also a contributor to poor air quality in cities.

Smoke from poorly burned timber is a source of fine particulate pollutants as well as hazardous air pollutant such as carbon monoxide as well as other harmful air pollutants such as nitrogen oxides as well as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), benzene, and formaldehyde. These particles can get into the lungs, and other organs, causing discomfort, injury, and even death. Airborne dust can also contaminate surfaces in your home and give them a rough sensation.
