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

Some people are worried that wood-burning stoves will contribute to climate changes However, this isn't true. The combustion of wood produces energy that is carbon-neutral. Through the life of a tree it absorbs carbon dioxide and when it is burned, the carbon dioxide absorbed is released back into the atmosphere.

The wood is produced locally, which reduces the amount of pollution released during transportation. It is also important to select top quality, seasoned hardwoods as these will have an extended and even burn than softwoods.

These units ignite the particulates and gases from the initial combustion in a second stage by mixing them with superheated air. They then channel the remaining particulates and gasses through a catalytic combustor to create an additional 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 possible. This results in the release of minimal particles into the air when burning wood.
