And what about Drax power station that is 100% woodburning and other power stations converting to woodburning or doesn’t that matter as a bigger problem than wood burning fires and stoves.

[Wheezycat in reply to Ground]

I would assume it does, but I would need to learn more about it. Can they somehow handle it better?

[Ground in reply to Wheezycat]

NO they didn’t handle it better,There have been complaints about pollution from Drax which have been brushed off as Drax power station meets all legal requirements

[Wheezycat in reply to Ground]

I agree with you, that is NOT good. I wasn’t aware though I am in the same part of the country as Drax. For me wood burners have become a thing as I have reacted badly to them, even very good ones, though not always. But I am also increasingly feeling it in the air round our house in a way I didn’t used to. I worry a lot about the increase and popularity of them.

[Ground in reply to Wheezycat]

Drax and other power stations converting to woodburning are a far bigger pollution problem here in UK and Europe.
