If they aren't maintained properly or make use of wood that is not of high quality the smoke produced contains fine particles, commonly referred to as particulate pollution that can cause irritation to the lungs and other organs of the body. It also contains carbon monoxide as well as harmful air pollutants such as formaldehyde, benzene, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Inhaling air pollution can cause irritation to the lungs and cause asthma attacks, wheezing, coughing and irritation of the lungs. It can also lead to heart disease, cancer or premature death.

Some people are worried that wood-burning stoves contribute to climate change However, this isn't true. Wood burning produces energy that is carbon-neutral. The tree absorbs carbon dioxide over its life. When it is burned carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere.

Since the wood is sourced locally, this reduces the amount of pollution emitted when it is transported. It is also important to select top quality well-seasoned hardwoods, as they will have a longer and more even burn than softwoods.

A wood-burning stove that has a catalytic converter can provide the ultimate low carbon heating option. These units ignite gasses and particles released from the initial burning in a second stage by mixing them with superheated air. They then channel the remaining gasses and particulates through a catalytic combustor for a third and final combustion, decreasing emissions to levels much lower than the standards set by the government.

Clean Burn

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

This means that your chimney as well as the surrounding area will be much cleaner than older stoves. Particulate matter (also known as particle pollution) caused by incomplete combustion of wood can cause respiratory problems like coughing and wheezing in people and can lead to the development of heart disease as well as stroke, diabetes, and other serious health problems. Wood burning can also contribute to poor air quality in cities.

Smoke from poorly burned timber contains fine particulate pollutants and harmful air pollutants such as carbon monoxide and other hazardous air pollutants such as nitrogen oxides as well as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as well as benzene and formaldehyde.
