CRAIG
Hearth products and the health issue.
We (STANDEX ENERGY SYSTEMS) addressed this issue in the 70'S and 80'S with AIR
EXCHANGERS outside air to inside air cleaned and heated . Not much response
from our industry then and we even told them how this system removed RADON OH
WELL . The big question still remains how to you get the HORSE to drink water.
My MOM who has been in poor health for years respitory on air , would not give
up her heat from her vent free for love nor money. Her condition pre-dates the
vent free's , she had a problem with vented products.

Look out!!
 
This has been a hot button since the K-falls base line respiratory study  in
school age kids several years ago.
 
The study assumed that during the winter months, decreased pulmonary
function was because of the increase in wood stove use. ( Out door
primarily, indoor secondarily) Reality is that in the winter months kids are
captive audiences to INDOOR AIR QUALITY of which woodstoves are a small
contributor. (And this is growing smaller but the problem is growing
bigger!!)  Schools, churches, shopping malls....etc. Whats trapped in the
indoor air is RECYCLED.
 
I was just called into a Ford Dealership with to much CO, I determined that
there was  residual back ground  CO level of 19 ppm with the gas stove
off!!! and they had taken out the woodstove!
 
The IAQ issue is only going to reaffirm why well installed wood stoves are
best in some instances and why gas isn't always best......or why new homes
shouldn't have anykind of combustion process going on in them at all.
 
Sick Buildings! Time to get off the potty or poop!
