It also contains carbon monoxide and toxic air pollutants like formaldehyde, benzene and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Inhaling air pollution can cause irritation to the lungs and trigger asthma attacks, wheezing, coughing and lung irritation. It may also cause heart disease, cancer or premature death.

Some people worry that using a wood-burning stove could contribute to climate change however this isn't necessarily the case. Wood burning produces energy that is carbon neutral. The tree absorbs carbon dioxide over its lifespan. When it is burned the carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere.

Because the wood is harvested locally this decreases the amount of pollutants released during transportation. It is also essential to select high-quality woods that are seasoned and seasoned as they will have an extended and more consistent burn than softwoods.

The remaining gases and particulates are then pumped through a catalytic combustion unit for a final third combustion. This further reduces emissions to levels far below the standards set by the government.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves are engineered to burn fuel with the best efficiency possible. This means that there are fewer emissions of particles into the air when burning wood.
