Wood-burning fireplaces and stoves create very little pollutant if they are maintained properly and operated with dry, seasoned and dry firewood. However, if they are not well maintained or used with poor quality wood, the smoke produced by them is contaminated with fine particles (known as particulate pollution) which can cause irritation to the lungs and other organs. It also contains carbon monoxide as well as harmful air pollutants such as formaldehyde, benzene, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Inhaling these types of air pollution can cause lung irritation wheezing, coughing and asthma attacks and may even lead to serious health issues like heart disease, cancer, or premature death.

Some people fear that using a wood-burning stove could contribute to climate change, but this is not necessarily the case. Wood burning is a carbon neutral energy source. The tree absorbs carbon dioxide over its lifespan. When it is burned carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere.

Because the wood is harvested locally, it reduces the amount of pollution that is released when it is transported. It is essential to select hardwoods that are seasoned and of top quality. They burn longer and more evenly than softwoods.

Modern wood stoves, like those manufactured by Charlton & Jenrick, emit significantly less pollutant than older stoves. They have been certified to meet 2020 EPA standards, which are considerably more stringent than the previous emission limits.

To avoid the buildup of exhaust within your home, all wood-burning stoves should be vented to the outside. By keeping the flames away from the logs and ensuring that you use dry, seasoned wood, all of our current clean burn and DEFRA exempt stoves are capable of producing very clear exhaust and have particulate levels 60 percent or less below the DEFRA limit.

A wood burning stove equipped with a catalytic converter or a hybrid unit can offer the ultimate low-carbon heating solution. These units ignite the particulates and gases from the initial combustion in a second stage by mixing them with superheated air. The remaining gasses and particulates are transferred to a catalytic unit for a final and third combustion. This further reduces emissions to levels that are below the government standards.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves burn fuel with the highest efficiency possible. This results in the emission of minimal particles into the air when burning wood. The stove's air management system controls the intake and exhausting of gases, ensuring the combustion process is conducted in a controlled, sealed environment. It also regulates the height of the flame to minimize emissions and increase heat output.

This means 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 can lead to the development of heart diseases, stroke, diabetes and other serious health problems. Air pollution from wood combustion is an element that contributes to poor urban air quality.

The smoke that is emitted from poorly combusted wood is a mixture of fine particulate matter and dangerous air pollutants, including carbon monoxide volatile organic compounds, nitrogen oxides, benzene, formaldehyde and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. These particles can get into the lungs and other organs, causing discomfort, injury, and even death. Airborne dust can also contaminate the surfaces in your home and create the impression of a rough surface to rooms.
