It also contains carbon monoxide as well as toxic air pollutants like formaldehyde, benzene and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Inhaling these types of air pollution can cause irritation of the lungs wheezing, coughing and asthma attacks. It could even lead to serious health conditions such as heart disease, cancer, or premature death.

Some people fear that using a wood-burning stove will contribute to climate change however this isn't necessarily the case. 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.

Since the wood is sourced locally, this reduces the amount of pollutants released when it is transported. It is also important to select top quality well-seasoned hardwoods, as they will give an extended and more consistent burning time than softwoods.

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

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves burn fuel with the highest efficiency. This results in a minimum amount of emissions of 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's height to minimise emissions and maximise the heat output.

The air pollution resulting caused by wood burning is an element that contributes to poor urban air quality.

Smoke from poorly combusted wood 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), benzene, and formaldehyde. These particles can be absorbed into the lungs, as well as other organs causing discomfort, harm, and even death.
