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

Some people are worried that wood-burning stoves can contribute to climate changes however this isn’t true. Burning wood is a carbon-neutral energy source. The tree absorbs carbon dioxide over its lifespan. When it is burned, the carbon is released into the atmosphere.

Since the wood is sourced locally, it reduces the amount of pollution that is released in the process of transportation. It is also essential to use high quality woods that are seasoned and seasoned as they will have an extended and more consistent burning time than softwoods.

A wood-burning stove with an integrated unit or catalytic converter is the most efficient low carbon solution for heating. These units ignite gasses and particles that were ignited during the initial combustion in a subsequent phase by mixing them superheated air. They then funnel the remaining gases and particulates through a catalytic combustor for an additional and final combustion, the reduction of 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 the emission of minimal particles into the air when burning wood. The air management system of the stove controls the intake and ventilation of gases, ensuring that the combustion process is conducted in a controlled and sealed environment. It also regulates flame height to maximise heat output and minimise emissions.

This means your chimney and its surroundings will be cleaner than older stoves.
