London Wood Burning Project Research

Through this survey the London Wood Burning Project aimed to investigate the effect that wood burning has on indoor and air quality by measuring residents' attitudes and behaviours around wood and solid fuel burning 

The London Wood Burning Project received five thousands responses. Twenty-one per cent of respondents stated having a useable open fireplace or solid fuel burning stove in their home frequently used in winter. Twenty-nine per cent of respondents with home wood burners and open fires had never information about solid fuel burning and air pollution. Twenty-three per cent of respondents thought that solid fuel burning has a positive impact on the health of people at home and nineteen per cent that it has it on the health of immediate neighbours.  Eighteen per cent stated they were planning to install an open fire or solid fuel burning.
