Burn better to improve air quality

17/06/2021

If you use an open fire or stove, there are things that you can do to burn better. When using poor quality fuels, such as wet wood or house coal, tiny harmful particles present in smoke are released into the air, which could damage your health and the health of those around you. But the good news is a few small changes can make a massive difference to the air you breathe. Watch the following video from Defra to find out more:
