When they are not properly maintained or use wood of poor quality the smoke produced is a result of fine particles, also known as particulate pollutants that can cause irritation to the lung organs and other body organs. It also contains carbon monoxide as well as toxic air pollutants such as formaldehyde, benzene, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Inhaling air pollution can cause irritation to the lungs and trigger asthma attacks wheezing, coughing, and lung irritation. It may also cause cancer, heart disease or premature death.

Many people are concerned that using a wood-burning stove can cause climate change, but this is not necessarily true. Burning wood is a carbon neutral energy source. In the course of the life of a tree it absorbs carbon dioxide, and when it is burned, the absorbed carbon is released back into the atmosphere.

The wood is local, which decreases the amount of pollution emitted in the transportation process. It is also important to select top quality woods that are seasoned and seasoned as they will provide an extended and more consistent burn than softwoods.

Modern, EPA certified wood stoves and heaters (such as those manufactured by Charlton & Jenrick) have much lower emissions than older stoves. They have been certified to meet 2020 EPA standards, which are considerably more strict than earlier emission limits.

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 pumped through a catalytic combustion unit for a final and third combustion. This reduces emissions to levels well below government standards.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves burn fuel at the highest efficiency. This results in minimal emissions of particles into the air when burning wood. The stove's air management system controls the intake and venting of gases, ensuring that the combustion process occurs in a sealed, controlled environment. 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 cleaner than older stoves.

Air pollution from wood combustion is an important factor in poor air quality in urban areas.

Smoke from poorly combusted timber has fine particulate pollution and dangerous air pollutants like carbon monoxide as well as other harmful air pollutants like nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as well as benzene and formaldehyde.
