With today’s fireplaces I think there is very little harm from smoke or pollution. Newer models are down to 1gram / hr of smoke and burning wood is carbon neutral for those that care about that part.

Nothing nicer than an indoor fireplace when it’s cold outside. The fact that it might help with degrading eyesight is a win.

Do you mean that much through the chimney or in the home? And what does that translate to for health outcomes. A gram of particles small enough to enter your bloodstream could actually be a lot for all I know.

And I ask about the chimney because fireplaces have been shown to impact neighbor health as well so it’s not just about getting it outside and it’s all good.

Here’s a link to the epa wood stove data. The 1gr is referring to the exhaust out the pipe.
