Indoor wood burning raises women’s lung cancer risk by 43%
Burn wood for many years and couldn&#x27;t care less about these studies. If you&#x27;re burning dry wood with a clean chimney and insure your seals are good, you&#x27;re fine. There has been renewed interest by climate warriors to ban wood stoves (they love to cite women and children being &quot;most at risk&quot;, the emotional argument must be present to change hearts and minds). Ironic, given it&#x27;s mostly poor and working class people burning wood. Must be a big push by heat pump and geothermal industries to get rid of wood stoves in the name of &quot;public health&quot;. Despite urban populations living with AQI magnitudes higher than rural populations who use these heating sources.
