Carbon monoxide, toxic air pollutants like formaldehyde and benzene, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are also present. Inhaling this type of air pollution could cause irritation to the lung as well as wheezing, coughing, and asthma attacks and may even cause serious health conditions such as cancer, heart disease, or premature death.

Some people fear that using a wood burning stove can cause climate change however this isn't necessarily the case. Burning wood is a carbon-neutral energy source. Throughout the lifetime of a tree it absorbs carbon dioxide, and when it is burned, the carbon absorbed is released back into the atmosphere.

These units ignite the gases and particulates that were ignited during the initial combustion in a second stage by mixing them with superheated air. The remaining gasses and particulates are transferred to a catalytic unit for a final and third combustion. This further reduces emissions to levels far below government standards.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves are designed to burn fuel with the highest efficiency that is achievable. This results in the emission of very small particles into air when burning wood. The air management system of the stove controls the intake and venting of gases to ensure that the combustion process is conducted in a safe and controlled environment. It also regulates the flame's height to maximise heat output and minimise emissions.
