What you can do about wood smoke pollution

Harmful smoke pollution can be drastically reduced if we improve the way we use our wood heaters.

EPA works in partnership with local councils to educate residents on ways to reduce pollution from wood heaters. Here are some tips on how to make a difference:

• Check your heater complies with the standard  
• Check your wood is aged and dry 
• Check you're using your heater correctly 
• Don't let your fire smoulder overnight 
• Dos and don'ts of wood heaters 
• Consider heating alternatives
