DEEP Reminds Residents To Use Best Practices When Wood Burning for Heat During Winter
(HARTFORD)— Winter is here, and burning wood to keep a home warm is a long-standing tradition in New England. Depending on the source of the wood, wood burning can provide a cost-effective alternative to use of fossil fuels. But did you know that one old, inefficient wood stove can emit as much air pollution as five dirty, old diesel trucks? The Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) is urging residents to protect their health and that of their family, friends, and neighbors by employing “best burn” practices. Properly burning the correct type of wood limits exposure to wood smoke, which is a toxic air pollutant.
