Air pollution

[transam]

A wood burner creates pollution equivalent to 8 diesel powered HGV lorries

Can't beat a toasty evening next to the wood burner.

Depends what you are burning on it surely?

These days you can but man made logs, some of which are wood chippings formed into a log shape others are made from some other combustible materials with additives that help them to burn brightly but slowly so you have a constant warmth. Our wood burner will also burn coal/anthracite pellets.

All of which produce pollution.Burning any type of wood or coal produces pollution.

I suggest that all forms of energy consumption are pollutants. The real argument is more about the lesser polluting and more renewable energy production and consumption.
So instead of dismissing one form of energy, how about a comparative table?

Equally, the argument should also be about reducing energy consumption not just dismissing any one type of energy.

Wood burning, specifically produces large amounts of particulates.

People who have open fires expose themselves to high levels.

And standing a bonfire, is probably off the scale.

My Dad can remember the pea soupers in London, from everyhouse having coal fires. -So wevr come a long way, but the fashion for wood burning does need addressing.

But fracking and the burning of its products to provide heat is ok?

I suggest you are correct.

Whataboutery.

Germany is Europes largest producer and burner of coal.

I suspect it will only become more popular the higher rates for gas increase.

I certainly know people that have their house heated by wood burning boilers.

As you are fond of saying, that's irrelevant

But they have of course banned fracking

Gosh.
Well spotted old bean.

Have a think about it

I have, and thank you...

It seems I indeed got it wrong...

I should have said that you're irrelevant
