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

Some people fear that using a wood-burning stove will contribute to climate change, but this is not necessarily true. The combustion of wood produces energy that is carbon-neutral. The tree absorbs carbon dioxide over its lifespan. After burning the carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere.

As the wood is sourced locally, this reduces the amount of pollutants released when it is transported. It is crucial to choose hardwoods that are well-seasoned and of top quality. They will burn longer and more evenly than softwoods.

These units ignite gasses and particles released from the initial burning in a subsequent phase by mixing them with superheated air. The remaining gasses and particulates are pumped through a catalytic combustion unit to create a final and third combustion. This reduces emissions to levels far below the government standards.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves burn fuel with the highest efficiency possible. This results in the release of very small particles into air when burning wood. The stove's air management system controls the intake and venting of gases, ensuring that the combustion process takes place in a sealed, controlled atmosphere. It also regulates the height of the flame to maximise heat output and minimize emissions.

The air pollution resulting caused by wood burning is a contributory factor in poor urban air quality.

The smoke from poorly combusted wood is a mixture of fine particulate matter and dangerous air pollutants such as carbon monoxide volatile organic compounds nitrogen oxides, benzene formaldehyde, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
