You can buy wood stoves today that emit less than half a gram per hour (0.5g&amp;#x2F;hr) of PM2.5 particulates. These modern wood stoves are also very efficient and beautiful to look at, so they provide a bit of luxury to go with their heating performance.</text><parent_chain><item><author>dathinab</author><text>&amp;gt; and into the homes of others.&lt;p&gt;I really wish indoor wood burning, especially if not used for heating but luxury, would be banned at least in cities&lt;p&gt;like wtf. is it legal to harass your neighbors with smell and toxic fumes every day just because you want to feel a bit comfy (to clarify: I mean comfy by having a fancy looking fire place you use additional to your normal heating system because you like how it looks)&lt;p&gt;sure there are countries and areas in countries where for various sociology economical reasons banning it isn&amp;#x27;t acceptable at all and should not be done&lt;p&gt;but a ~4 million city where one of the _most costly ways to heat_ is by burning wood logs it&amp;#x27;s a bit of a different story ;)&lt;p&gt;and I know some parts of the city are poor and use very old ovens, but funnily they have less of an smell issue (I can&amp;#x27;t judge the toxicity) because they tend to burn preprocessed pellets for heating instead of not necessary well suited or fully dry wood for the looks</text></item><item><author>sneak</author><text>Half the comments here are just providing an implementation of the fizzbuzz instead of addressing the article’s point.&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.samharris.org&amp;#x2F;blog&amp;#x2F;the-fireplace-delusion&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.samharris.org&amp;#x2F;blog&amp;#x2F;the-fireplace-delusion&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt; &lt;i&gt;Once they have exited your chimney, the toxic gases (e.g. benzene) and particles that make up smoke freely pass back into your home and into the homes of others.

Children who live in homes with active fireplaces or woodstoves, or in areas where wood burning is common, suffer a higher incidence of asthma, cough, bronchitis, nocturnal awakening, and compromised lung function. Among adults, wood burning is associated with more-frequent emergency room visits and hospital admissions for respiratory illness, along with increased mortality from heart attacks. The inhalation of wood smoke, even at relatively low levels, alters pulmonary immune function, leading to a greater susceptibility to colds, flus, and other respiratory infections. All these effects are borne disproportionately by children and the elderly.&lt;/i&gt;</text></item></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Indoor wood burning raises women’s lung cancer risk by 43%</title><url>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0160412023004014</url></story>
