Fireplaces and wood-burning stoves cause minimal pollution when they are properly maintained and are used with dry, seasoned firewood. However, if they are not maintained properly or are used with poor quality wood the smoke that is produced by them is contaminated with fine particles (known as particulate pollution) that can irritate the lung and other organs. It also contains carbon monoxide and toxic air pollutants like benzene, formaldehyde and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Inhaling air pollution can cause irritation of the lung and lead to asthma attacks wheezing, coughing, and irritation of the lungs. It can also lead to cancer, heart disease or premature death.

Many are concerned that wood-burning stoves can contribute to climate changes however this isn't true. Wood burning produces energy that is carbon-neutral. In the course of the life of a tree it absorbs carbon dioxide, and when burned the carbon dioxide absorbed is released back into the atmosphere.

The wood is sourced locally, which reduces the amount pollution that is emitted in the transportation process. It is also essential to select high-quality, seasoned hardwoods as these will have a longer and more even burn than softwoods.

A wood-burning stove equipped with an integrated unit or catalytic converter is the ultimate low carbon solution for heating. These units re-ignite gases and particles released from the initial burning in a second stage by mixing them superheated air. The remaining gases and particulates are transferred to a catalytic unit for a final and third combustion. This reduces emissions to levels far below the government standards.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves are designed to burn fuel with the greatest efficiency that is achievable. This results in the emission of very small particles into air when burning wood. The stove's air management system regulates the intake and exhausting of gases, ensuring that the combustion process occurs in a controlled, sealed atmosphere. It also regulates the flame's height to maximize the output of heat and reduce emissions.

This means your chimney and the surrounding area will be cleaner than older stoves. Particulate matter (also called particle pollution) from wood that is not fully combusted causes respiratory problems such as coughing and wheezing in people and can contribute to the development of heart diseases as well as stroke, diabetes, and other serious health conditions. The smoke from wood burning is also a contributory factor in poor air quality in urban areas.

Smoke from poorly combusted wood contains fine particulate pollutants and dangerous air pollutants like carbon monoxide, as well as other dangerous air pollutants like nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), benzene and formaldehyde. These particles can get into the lungs and other organs and cause discomfort, damage and even death. Airborne dust can also harm the surfaces in your home and give a gritty feel to rooms.

It is important to select high-quality, seasoned and dried firewood when using your fireplace with a wood burner. The most valuable woods for heating are hardwoods like oak, ash and beech. Hardwoods are incredibly dense and have a more BTU than softwoods. They also provide more heat.
