sick by the pollutants. Gas sure comes up as being very clean.



POLLUTION

Environmental officials have analyzed.how much soot -

particulate matter - home heating devices produce.

» One home heated by oil produces as much pollution as 39 homes using
gas.

» One home heated by an EPA-certified indoor wood stove

produces as much pollution as 2,000 homes using gas.

» One home heated by an outdoor wood furnace produces as much
pollution as 3,000 to

8,000 homes using gas.

Soot and particulate matter are not harmful to anything. Otherwise a
forest fire would kill all of mankind for hundreds of miles.
