Eco stoves pollute the atmosphere 450 times more than gas heating.

Wood-burning eco-stoves (Ecodesign) are 450 times more harmful to the atmosphere than central gas heating. Up to 36,000 people a year die in England alone due to polluted air. The most environmentally friendly heating option is electric. Such results of the study were presented in his annual report by the chief physician of England, Professor Chris Whitty. According to Whitty, outdated wood-burning stoves and fireplaces emit 3,700 times more toxic substances into the environment than burning gas. At the same time, people often use them for aesthetics, and not for heating.
