If you are warming with wood, you have every interest in getting the most controlled combustion as possible.
That is to say, to avoid using a dilapidated apparatus, poor quality wood or wet, to maintain a good draw ... now this will not be enough to solve all the emissions ... but read rather the following, astonishing.
The wood fire, one of the main pollution factors
LEMONDE.FR with AFP | 29.07.09
Wood burning is one of the major contributors of pollutants, especially fine particles, one of the main recurring factors of air pollution with nitrogen oxides, notes Ademe in its annual report on the quality of the air.
"Globally, the air we breathe today is better than two or three years ago, except for the levels of particles and nitrogen oxides", summarized Wednesday July 29 Philippe Van de Mael, the president of the Agency for the development and control of energy (Ademe).
It turns out, however, that the growth of wood energy, encouraged in the name of the fight against climate change - wood heating emits about ten times less greenhouse gas than oil and five times less than gas - comes in the way of counter-pollution efforts. "A half-day by the fireside is as many particles as 3 km in diesel," argues Secretary of State for Ecology, Chantal Jouanno. Suddenly, the latter wonders about the objective of the Grenelle of the environment, which plans to double the use of wood by 500 to fight against global warming.
Wood combustion in all sectors (domestic, industrial and collective) represents up to 77% of national emissions of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), 27% PM10 particles and even 40% for the finest (PM2,5) which are also the most dangerous. It is also respectively 22 and 21% emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and carbon monoxide.
I knew that there were significant emissions of fine particles and not fine and CO but the huge proportion of PAHs and VOCs ... from the wood, I'm speechless!
And NOx, no figures? I'm sure our deom, considering how it goes in T ° at the heart of flame (principle of the turbo) in product (at least a little) ...
For the fireside, I suppose, I hope it is an open fire ... but the Jouanno does not say if it is before or after "purging" in the atmosphere of the particles trapped in the FAP ... Hey yes, the theory is beautiful ... but you have to come back down to earth Madam ...
