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

Some people are worried that wood-burning stoves will contribute to climate changes, but this isn't necessarily true. Burning wood is a carbon neutral energy source. The wood absorbs carbon dioxide throughout its lifespan. When burned, the carbon is released into the atmosphere.

The wood is sourced locally, which reduces the amount pollution that is produced during the transport process. It is also essential to select top quality, seasoned hardwoods as these will provide an extended and more consistent burn than softwoods.

This further reduces emissions to levels that are below the government standards.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves are made to burn fuel with the highest efficiency that is achievable. This means that there are fewer emissions of particles into the air when burning wood.

Smoke from poorly combusted wood is a source of fine particulate pollutants as well as hazardous air pollutant such as carbon monoxide and other hazardous air pollutants, such as nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), benzene and formaldehyde.
