Carbon monoxide, air pollutants that are toxic such as formaldehyde and benzene, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are also present. Inhaling these types of air pollution may cause lung irritation as well as wheezing, coughing, and asthma attacks. It could even lead to serious health conditions such as cancer, heart disease, or premature death.

Many are concerned that wood-burning stoves will contribute to climate change however this isn't true. Burning wood is a carbon neutral energy source. Throughout the lifetime of a tree it absorbs carbon dioxide and when burned the absorbed carbon is released back into the atmosphere.

The wood is local, which decreases the amount pollution that is emitted in the transportation process. It is important to use hardwoods that have been seasoned and of top quality. They will burn longer and more evenly than softwoods.

Modern, EPA certified wood stoves and heaters (such as those made by Charlton & Jenrick) have significantly lower emissions than older stoves. They have been tested and certified to meet the 2020 EPA standards, which are significantly more stringent than the previous emission limits.

A wood-burning stove equipped with a hybrid unit or catalytic converter can provide the best low carbon heating option. These units ignite the particulates and gases from the initial combustion in a subsequent stage by mixing them with superheated air. The remaining gases and particulates are then transported through a catalytic combustion unit for a final third combustion. This reduces emissions to levels that are below government standards.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves are made to burn fuel with the highest efficiency possible. This results in the release of minimal particles into the air when burning wood. The air management system of the stove regulates the intake and venting of gases, ensuring that the combustion process takes place in a controlled and sealed environment. It also regulates the flame height to minimise emissions and maximise the heat output.

This means that your chimney and 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 problems such as wheezing and coughing and can contribute to the development of heart disease, stroke, diabetes and other serious health issues. The air pollution resulting from wood burning is also an element that contributes to poor air quality in urban areas.

The smoke that is emitted from poorly combusted wood is a mixture of fine particulate pollution as well as hazardous air pollutants such as 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 of your home, and can give the impression of a rough surface to rooms.
