How is wood burning polluted?
Wood-burning emissions threaten lung health wood smoke can cause coughing, wheezing, asthma attacks, heart attacks, lung cancer, and premature death, among other health effects. Many of these pollutants can cause health problems for people who live near wood-burning stoves. Wood smoke is a major source of indoor air pollution, especially for children and the elderly.
(CDC) estimates that more than 1.5 million children under the age of 5 die each year in the United States from asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other respiratory diseases caused by indoor pollution. In addition, the CDC reports that the number of people with COPD has increased by nearly 50 percent since 1990. For example, children who spend a lot of time outdoors, such as at playgrounds and parks, are at greater risk of developing asthma.

Can you burn pallet wood?
Pallets, lumber, and other cut and dried scrap wood are indeed good to burn (as long as you are completely sure they were not treated with any chemicals such as arsenic or lead), but they are not as good as wood that has been properly treated. The best way to determine if your wood is treated is to look at it under a magnifying glass. If you can’t see it, it probably isn’t.
You can also test it by placing it in a fire and seeing if it catches on fire. This is a good way of determining if the wood was treated or not, but it is not a 100% guarantee. It is also important to note that some of the chemicals used to treat wood can be harmful to your health, so you should not use them if you have any health problems.
