Wood Heating
At Home
To effectively eliminate pollution from residential wood heating, you would have to refrain from burning wood altogether. This, however, is not a realistic option for many Canadians. Still, wood smoke pollution can be considerably reduced if you improve your wood burning practices. It is also important that you consider all the available heating alternatives. If you decide to buy a wood stove, choose one that has been certified for low emissions by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or the Canadian Standards Association (CSA B-415.1-00). The following points will guide you through a more conscious way of heating your home while reducing emissions.
