If they aren’t properly maintained or make use of wood that is not of high quality the smoke produced contains fine particles, also known as particulate pollutants, which can irritate lung organs and other body organs. It also contains carbon monoxide and toxic air pollutants like formaldehyde, benzene and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Inhaling air pollution can cause lung irritation and lead to 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 could contribute to climate change, but this is not necessarily the case. Burning wood is a carbon neutral energy source. The tree absorbs carbon dioxide throughout its life. When burned carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere.

Because the wood is harvested locally, this reduces the amount of pollution that is released in the process of transportation. It is essential to select hardwoods that are seasoned and of top quality. They will burn longer and more evenly than softwoods.

Modern wood stoves, like the ones manufactured by Charlton & Jenrick, emit much less pollution than older stoves. They have been tested and certified to meet the 2020 EPA standards, which are significantly more strict than previous emissions limits.

To prevent a build-up of exhaust within your home, all wood burning stoves must be vented completely to the outside. By keeping the flames in the vicinity of the logs and ensuring that you use dry, seasoned wood, all our current clean burn and DEFRA exempt stoves can produce very clear exhaust. They also have particulate levels that are 60 percent or less below the DEFRA limit.

A wood-burning stove that has a catalytic converter or hybrid unit could provide the most efficient low-carbon solution for heating. These units ignite the gases and particulates that were ignited during the initial combustion in a second stage by mixing them with superheated air. They then funnel the remaining gasses and particulates through a catalytic combustion combustor for an additional and final combustion, decreasing emissions to levels much lower than the standards set by the government.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves are engineered to burn fuel with the best efficiency that is achievable. This means that there are fewer dust emissions into the atmosphere when burning wood. The air management system of the stove controls the intake and ventilation of gases to ensure the combustion process is conducted in a controlled and sealed environment. It also regulates the height of the flame to minimise emissions and maximise heat output.

This means that your chimney and the surrounding area will be much cleaner than older stoves. Particulate matter (also called particle pollution) from incompletely combusted wood can cause respiratory problems like coughing and wheezing in people and contributes to the development of heart diseases, stroke, diabetes and other serious health problems. Air pollution from wood burning is also a contributory factor in poor urban air quality.

The smoke from poorly combusted wood is a mixture of fine particulate pollution as well as hazardous air pollutants, including carbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds, nitrogen oxides, benzene formaldehyde and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. These particles can be absorbed into the lungs, as well as other organs, causing discomfort and damage and even death. Dust particles from the air can also cause a hazard to surfaces in your home and give them a rough feel.
