Carbon monoxide, air pollutants that are toxic such as benzene and formaldehyde and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are also in the. Inhaling air pollution can cause lung irritation and trigger asthma attacks, wheezing, coughing and lung irritation. It may also cause heart disease, cancer or premature death.

Some people are worried that wood-burning stoves will cause climate change, but this isn't necessarily true. Wood burning is a carbon neutral energy source. The tree absorbs carbon dioxide over its life. After burning, the carbon is released into the atmosphere.

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

A wood-burning stove with a catalytic converter can provide the best low carbon heating solution. These units ignite the gases and particulates that were ignited during the initial combustion in a subsequent stage by mixing them with superheated air. They then channel the remaining gasses and particulates through a catalytic combustor to create a third and final combustion, reducing emissions to a level well below government standards.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves burn fuel at the highest efficiency. This results in a minimum amount of particles emitted into the atmosphere when burning wood. The stove's air management system regulates the intake and venting of gases, making sure that the combustion process takes place in a controlled, sealed atmosphere. It also regulates the flame's height to reduce emissions and maximize the heat output.

This means that your chimney and surrounding area will be cleaner than older stoves. Particulate matter, also referred to as particle pollution, is a result of incompletely burned wood can trigger respiratory issues, such as wheezing and coughing, and can contribute to heart disease and stroke, diabetes and other serious conditions.
