If properly maintained, wood-burning fireplaces and stoves emit little or no pollution when they are used with seasoned and dry firewood. When they are not properly maintained or when they use wood that is of poor quality, the smoke that is produced contains fine particles, often referred to as particulate pollutants that can cause irritation to the lungs and other organs of the body. Carbon monoxide, air pollutants that are toxic such as benzene and formaldehyde, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are also present. Inhaling this type of air pollution may cause irritation to the lung as well as wheezing, coughing, and asthma attacks. It could even lead to serious health conditions such as cancer, heart disease or premature death.

Some people fear that using a wood-burning stove could contribute to climate change, but this is not necessarily true. Wood burning is a carbon neutral energy source. Throughout the lifetime of a tree it absorbs carbon dioxide, and when it is burned, the carbon absorbed is released back into the atmosphere.

The wood is sourced locally, which reduces the amount of pollution released during transportation. It is also essential to use high quality woods that are seasoned and seasoned as they will have an extended and more consistent burn than softwoods.

A wood-burning stove that has a catalytic converter or hybrid unit can provide the best low-carbon heating solution. These units re-ignite the gases and particulates that were ignited during the initial combustion in a second stage by mixing them with superheated air. They then funnel the remaining particulates and gasses through a catalytic combustor to create a third and final combustion, further reducing emissions to a level much lower than the standards set by the government.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves burn fuel with the highest efficiency. 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 exhaust of gases to ensure the combustion process takes place in a safe and controlled environment. It also regulates the height of the flame to minimize emissions and increase heat output.

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

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