Burning old chipboard and bitumen is seriously bad for the

your old car tyres as well ?.


I had a mate, who burned chipboard in his woodburner in his workshop. He
had a lot of medical issues, and he got diagnosed with possible Motor
Neurone Disease. Then, the penny dropped, he stopped burning chipboard,
and he made a miraculous recovery.

We can never be sure the chipboard was the problem, but it seems quite
possible.


2 things:

1) The chipboard glue is likely to give off nasties.

2) But I question his woodburner if he was able to breath fumes from
it... Sounds like a bad or insufficient flue.
