However, if they are not well maintained or used with poor quality wood the smoke that is produced by them is contaminated with fine particles (known as particulate pollution) which can cause irritation to the lungs and other organs. It also contains carbon monoxide and harmful air pollutants such as formaldehyde, benzene and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Inhaling air pollution can cause irritation of the lung and trigger asthma attacks, wheezing, coughing and irritation of the lungs. It could also cause cancer, heart disease or premature death.

Some people fear that using a wood burning stove could contribute to climate change however this isn't necessarily true. Burning wood is a carbon neutral energy source. The tree absorbs carbon dioxide throughout its lifetime. When it is burned the carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere.

As the wood is sourced locally this decreases the amount of pollution emitted when it is transported. It is also important to select top quality woods that are seasoned and seasoned as they will have an extended and more consistent burn than softwoods.

Modern, EPA certified wood stoves and heaters (such as those made by Charlton & Jenrick) have significantly lower emissions than older stoves. They have been certified to meet 2020 EPA standards that are significantly stricter than earlier emission limits.

All our current DEFRA-exempt and clean-burn stoves produce very clear exhaust by keeping the flames at a distance from the wood logs and by using dry, seasoned firewood.

A wood-burning stove equipped with a catalytic converter could be the ultimate low carbon heating option. These units re-ignite gasses and particles that were ignited during the initial burning in a second stage by mixing them with superheated air. They then channel the remaining gases and particulates through a catalytic combustor to create a third and final combustion, decreasing emissions to levels much lower than the standards set by the government.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves burn fuel with 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 exhausting of gases, making sure that the combustion process is conducted in a closed, controlled atmosphere. It also regulates the flame's height to reduce emissions and maximize the heat output.

This means that your chimney and its surroundings will be much cleaner than older stoves. Particulate matter (also called particle pollution) from incompletely combusted wood can cause respiratory problems like wheezing and coughing in people and can lead to the development of heart disease as well as stroke, diabetes, and other serious health issues. Wood burning also contributes to poor air quality in cities.

The smoke from poorly combusted wood is a mixture of fine particulate pollution and hazardous air pollutants like carbon monoxide volatile organic compounds nitrogen oxides, benzene formaldehyde, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. These particles can penetrate deep into the organs of the lungs and cause discomfort, damage and even death. Dust particles from the air can also cause a hazard to surfaces in your home with a smudge-like feeling.

The fireplaces require some attention and maintenance. They must be kept clear of combustible material and have a screen in place. Air flow will be improved by keeping the grate clean of ash and debris. This will ensure that the fire is burning longer and your home clean.
