It’s #CleanAirNight! Did you know that wood burning is the most polluting way to heat your home? Wood burning smoke produces fine particulate air pollution (PM2.5), which enters your bloodstream when inhaled and can cause heart & lung disease, as well as increase your risk of diabetes and dementia

This is a great tool for estimating the impacts of air cleaners in nat vent UK schools. Unlike most air cleaner selection tools which just size on clean air delivery rate CHEPA also considers the energy aspects depending on local climate.
