Lighting a fire can be cozy, but it can also be a nuisance to your neighbors. And, unfortunately, it is also harmful to health and causes air pollution.

Burning wood is harmful to air quality and can lead to nuisance and health problems for the stoker himself and for your neighbors. Especially people with respiratory problems can suffer. It is impossible to burn wood completely cleanly, because fine dust is always released. Wood burning causes about 23% of the particulate matter emissions in the Netherlands. So it is better if you do not burn wood.
