As the weather turns chilly outside, a wood stove is often an economical alternative to gas, electric, and certainly oil.

It can be a wonderful source of heat but it can also be a source of gaseous and particulate pollutants.

Many times the smell is so pervasive that it gets into clothes and furniture. And it’s often easy for others to tell that you have a wood stove because of the smell that comes with you when you are away from home.

An effective air purifier needs to have filters that can deal with both gaseous and particulate by products of burning wood. HEPA (or high efficiency particle arresting) technology is recognized as the best type of filter to eliminate airborne particles.

To be designated as a HEPA it must be able to remove 99.97% of airborne particles down to .3 microns in size. This makes it totally effective at removing the tiny pieces of ash and soot that go airborne when burning takes place.

And because this filter doesn’t care what the source of the particles is, it can also remove normal household stuff like dust, dust mites, mold and mildew spores, pollen, pet dander, as well as bacteria and viruses.

For gaseous pollutants, carbon is renowned for its ability to effectively remove gases, odors, and chemicals from the air. The carbon will effectively remove the gases that are produced while burning wood.
