Wood-burning Stoves Are a No-no
Around 11.6 million American homes use wood as a primary or secondary source of heat, with about 4.8 million of them using wood stove appliances. Unfortunately, recent studies have suggested that using your wood-burning stove indoor just once can expose you and your loved ones to more air pollutants than standing by a traffic-clogged freeway during rush hour.
Plus, the older the model, the higher the likelihood that the smoke it is emitting will damage lung tissue and lead to long-term breathing problems. If you can’t live without your trusty wood-burning stove, then make sure your home is well ventilated while using it.
