Can you see PM2.5 particles? I thought they are far too small. Don't you
need some equipment to measure emissions?

;-)

It's funny, when something is obvious (like the smogs we used to have
in London), people 'understood' why things needed to change. Now you
can't generally 'see' the pollution, the thousands who die every year
from it aren't noticed. Maybe if they were left on the street ... ;-(

I'd go with the science on this, whilst not having a clue what the
science is. If the stove doesn't emit harmful particles, that's fine. If
it does to a significant extent, you shouldn't use it.

I think the telling bit with all these sorts of things is the '*Im*
not going to worry too much about my woodburner ...' when
(potentially) the owner of the woodburner may be al less risk to any
of any negative consequences than all those around them.

It's the people with the things

that are the problem.
