"Wood burning stoves in urban areas are responsible for almost half of people’s exposure to cancer-causing chemicals found in air pollution particles, new research has shown."
- pygy_ 5y agoThis is less of a concern with modern batch-rocket stoves that also burn fine particles, once hot, after a few minutes, they burn without smoke.
- trompetenaccoun 5y agoUnless the wood is moist. Or the logs are too large. Or the wood is of the wrong kind or of bad quality. Or the stove is used incorrectly (ID10T error).
- switch007 5y agoExactly. The average user has to be very cautious. I wonder how cautious they are having paid good money for a fully compliant stove install and then think their job is over.
- euroderf 5y agoAre these user-originated problems detectable using the right combination of sensors ?
- trompetenaccoun 5y agoIf they paid attention they'd notice it smokes. There's usually a small window in the oven for that purpose, our eyes and noses a good enough sensors for that.
