Wood burners are bad for your health

[conny]

Plus you have a filter in your mouth sometimes

Your nose is the better filter due to the tiny hairs that trap impurities and also warms the air before it goes to your lungs. Hence why you should breath in through your nose and out through your mouth.

Wood burners are on the radar due to particulate pollution

Pollution from brake dust has Been mentioned
Or sited aswel

Rubber particles from tyres too

I'm sorry IT you are completely wrong. I'm a gas safe engineer. (Qualified to comment)
An average gas boiler emits on average around 50 parts per million of carbon monoxide.
Burning wet wood emits around 18000 ppm.
Liberal weirdos love the Good ol wood burners!

What are you dribbling about?

This isn't about CO, it's about particulate matter. Even then it'd be agreeing with you if anything. Finally wet wood is being banned.

I shouldn't have bothered clicking on the ignored content.

Sorry, what are your qualifications?

Wood burners shouldn't be allowed in cities. If everyone had one the air would be unbreathable. Just one seems to pollute a large area with acrid smoke. They have their place - in lightly populated areas.

My dad had an open fire in his bedroom, he's still alive. Modern wood burners date used far less than in the old days, and generally not in a bedroom.

Smoke does cause serious health problems, but usually only in people who live in homes that have a poorly vented fire burning all day and night.

Barbecues will be on the hit list eventually

??

Indoor barbeques, hmmm. Do you mean cookers or carbon monoxide poisoning?

Yes transam, get a bbq.

I'm currently building an Inglenook fireplace + chimney and a kitchen extension and each will home to a wood-burner

AFAIK barbeques have been banned in calafornia in the US for years? Or some parts off the state

 

[danechip]

So has MDF. your point being?

The California Fire Code of 2016 restricted the use of BBQ grills in 2018, and the new 2019 edition impacts apartment dwellers in 2020

Barbeques causing fires was the reason for the ban, not health issues
