Wood Smoke

Safe burning techniques can help prevent unhealthy smoke from entering your home.  New EPA certifications have cut smoke emissions from wood stoves and fireplaces up to 70%; the newer models produce 2 to 7 grams of smoke per hour instead of 15 to 30 grams of smoke per hour.  An estimated 12 million wood stoves are still in existence in the United States, so following the procedures outlined in this video will help lower the risk of particle pollution entering your home and your respiratory system.
