Fireplaces and wood-burning stoves cause minimal pollution when they are maintained properly and used with dry, seasoned and dry firewood. If they are not properly maintained or when they use wood that is of poor quality the smoke produced is a result of fine particles, also known as particulate pollutants that can cause irritation to the lungs and other organs of the body. It also contains carbon monoxide as well as toxic air pollutants such as formaldehyde, benzene, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Inhaling this type of air pollution may cause lung irritation, coughing, wheezing and asthma attacks. It could even lead to serious health issues like heart disease, cancer, or premature death.

Some people are concerned that wood-burning stoves will contribute to climate changes, but this isn't necessarily true. Burning wood is a carbon neutral energy source. Throughout the lifetime of a tree, it absorbs carbon dioxide and when burned the absorbed carbon is released back into the atmosphere.

The wood is sourced locally, which reduces the amount pollution that is produced during the transport process. It is important to use hardwoods that are well-seasoned and of high quality. They will burn longer and more evenly than softwoods.

Modern, EPA certified wood stoves and heaters (such as those made by Charlton & Jenrick) have considerably lower emissions than earlier stoves. They have been tested and certified to meet 2020 EPA standards which are considerably more stringent than previous emissions limits.

A wood-burning stove equipped with a catalytic converter is the best low carbon solution for heating. These units ignite the particulates and gases from the initial combustion in a second stage by mixing them with superheated air. They then channel the remaining particulates and gasses through a catalytic combustion combustor for a third and final combustion, reducing emissions to a level well below government standards.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves are made to burn fuel with the highest efficiency that is achievable. 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 exhausting of gases, ensuring the combustion process occurs in a closed, controlled environment. It also regulates the flame height to minimize emissions and increase heat output.

This means that your chimney as well as the surrounding area will be much cleaner than older stoves. Particulate matter, also known as particle pollution, resulting from incompletely burned wood can cause respiratory issues, like coughing and wheezing. It can also contribute to heart diseases as well as stroke, diabetes and other serious illnesses. Wood burning also contributes to poor air quality in cities.

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