NH_Wood said:My guess is that the particulate matter eventually mixes with condensing water in the atmosphere and rains/snows back down on us. Cheers!
Oldmainer said:Hi Guys...how was/is it determined... how/why wood smoke is bad for you? And I don't mean by locking some poor freekin' animals in a box and have them breath wood smoke 24/7 either. It may be that wood smoke isn't as bad as the mouth foamers would have you think... Some real life research would be nice to know from the real world....if there is any to be had.

johnstra said:What percentage of chimney sweeps are smokers? And what else did they do for a living that could have contributed to them developing lung cancer? Lots of other variables.
I recently listened to a report on radon levels and it was similar. I forget the number of deaths each year that are blamed on exposure to high radon levels, but of those it was somehow determined that a very large percentage were also smokers.
Anecdotal evidence is useful to be sure, but it's so very hard to draw hard conclusions from it.
SpeakEasy said:The most common and plentiful elements and compounds are naturally recycled. The carbon cycle, for example, takes the carbon molecules and reuses them over and over - pretty much endlessly. When carbon dioxide comes out of your stove (as part of the smoke) it is taken up by green plants and contributes to the production of oxygen, as everyone knows. Recycling was "invented" by nature - not by us.
