Translated from German by Google: “But the real problem is not the long period of time until a stove can be put into operation for the first time, but ecological and health aspects. There is an enormous demand, of all things, for a form of heating energy that the Federal Environment Agency (UBA) and the Federation for the Environment and Nature Conservation (BUND) advise against harmful nitrogen and sulfur compounds, carbon monoxide and also large amounts of fine dust. According to UBA, the share of wood combustion in the total fine dust emissions in Germany is ten percent over the entire year. In winter, however, the proportion is up to 20 percent.” The article is from 12 of December 2022 – >From 1 ARD, German Television.
