Air Quality and Wood Smoke in Cumberland
Posted on
With the cold weather starting to settle in, residents who utilize a woodstove to heat their homes are reminded to only burn clean, dry firewood to help reduce wood smoke pollution in the fall and winter months.
The effects of wood smoke are made worse in the Comox Valley due to cold season inversions, which trap air in the Valley for extended periods.
