Wood-Burning Resources for Consumers

EPA has developed a wide array of resources to help consumers make good choices about burning wood.  These choices impact your health since burning wood inevitably releases smoke, along with certain gases and fine particles, that you will breathe into your lungs.  These choices also impact how much you will spend to heat or add ambiance to your home.
