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

Some people worry that using a wood-burning stove can cause climate change however this isn't necessarily the case. Burning wood produces energy that is carbon neutral. The tree absorbs carbon dioxide over its life. After burning the carbon dioxide is released into the air.

The wood is sourced locally, which reduces the amount of pollution released during transportation. 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 manufactured by Charlton & Jenrick) have considerably lower emissions than earlier stoves. They have been tested and certified to meet 2020 EPA standards, which are significantly more stringent than the previous emission limits.

A wood-burning stove that has a hybrid unit or catalytic converter is the ultimate low carbon heating solution. These units re-ignite gases and particles that were ignited during the initial combustion in a subsequent phase by mixing them with superheated air. The remaining gasses and particulates are transported through a catalytic combustion unit to create a final and third combustion. This reduces emissions to levels that are below the standards set by the government.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves burn fuel at the highest efficiency. This results in the release of minimal particles into the air 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 closed, controlled environment. It also regulates the flame's height to minimize emissions and increase the heat output.

This means that your chimney and surrounding area will be cleaner than older stoves.
