Very problematic article. The lede shows the headline is at least somewhat misleading:
> New wood burning stoves billed as more environmentally friendly still emit 750 times more tiny particle pollution than a modern HGV truck, a report has shown.
> Only stoves that meet the ecodesign standard can be legally sold from the start of 2022 in the UK and EU, but experts said the regulation was shockingly weak.
The title says "pollution", but actually this is just one kind of pollution, PM2.5 pollution. The HN title would benefit from this edit.
However, the article does nothing to discuss what to expect on the market from the ecodesign stoves.
