Lol, tell that to southern Poland a decade ago. On a quiet winter days air pollution on the lower third of the country is off the charts even with all the limiting measures enacted over last years. The point is that burning stuff is incredibly polluting in any setting.
- gregwebs 2y agoWhen I read about Poland I see stuff saying they just banned coal and there are traditions of burning yard waste. I saw an article stating that in 2022 all fireplace manufacturers need to meet new standards which normally implies the existing are grandfathered in. I would still wonder about what percentage of the pollution is from inefficient burns. On the other hand pollution standards can leave a lot to be desired and the EPA certification is being gamed [1]. I am interested in this topic- I would like to get the least polluting wood stove available (in the US).
