Wood smoke pollutants include fine particulates, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, carbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds, dioxins, and furans. Breathing air containing wood smoke can cause a number of serious respiratory and cardiovascular health problems.

Many ppl her have wood burning fire places & use them....... They are only about 10% efficient @ best...... Average wood stove or fire place insert is about 80% tops....... & anyone down wind would agree they are foul, those cozy inside perhaps not.

I had a fireplace & wood stove @ my last house.. Woodstoves can burn whenever, w/ up to ten days restricted per year..........

I liked it as I had some property up in the hills w/ free wood, & Nati gas was to heat the home..

Unfortunately the smoke would rise & then slowly fall into the court across the street making my neighbors unhappy........ & I could see why..

I do not have a real fireplace any more (Nati gas insert) nor a woodstove..

Our eyes, & throats agree as we have had essentially unhealthy air for a week w/out a break........
