'They found that wood-burning appliances are more commonly used by white people in affluent city neighbourhoods'
'For example, among people aged 70 to 79 who took part in the study, their FEV1 decreased by an average of 0.12 litres among those using solid fuels, such as indoor wood burners, compared to 0.07 litres among those not exposed.'

My sister has one in her cottage. She loves it, as do her kids. I do not! My chest tightens within minutes of her lighting it, my throat gets sore, and I often get a headache. She has it maintained annually so (hopefully!) we are not being exposed to CO poisoning, but some iffy fumes are definitely getting into the room...
