Wood burning flyer

5th November 2025

Did you know that domestic wood burning in the UK is a major source of particulate matter?

Did you know that an Ecodesign wood burning stove is several hundred times more polluting than a gas boiler?

And did you know that the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) advises phasing out domestic wood burning in urban areas to protect children's health from air pollution?

It is an uncomfortable truth that wood burning creates a huge amount of air pollution in the UK, causing or exacerbating health issues from asthma to heart disease, cancer to strokes and diabetes to fertility issues.

Please join us in raising awareness of this issue by downloading and sharing our flyer, or you can order paper flyers for free here. You can also find both the digital and print versions on our Resources page.
