Outdoor wood furnaces create significant indoor particulate pollution in neighboring homes
Listed in DataCite
Context : The use of outdoor wood furnaces (OWFs) is common in many parts of the United States.
Description
Little published information exists on the concentrations of outdoor and indoor fine particulates found near OWFs. Objective : To compare PM 2.5 (cts) and PM 0.5 (cts) particle concentrations inside four Connecticut homes located 30.5–259 m from OWFs, and inside six Connecticut control homes located more than 2 km from the nearest OWF.
Materials and methods : PM 2.5 (cts) and PM 0.5 (cts) measurements were made with a Dylos light-scattering particulate counter. Results : Mean PM 2.5 (cts) concentrations were 4.21 times as great in the four OWF exposed homes than the six control homes (0.302 × 10 6 counts/m 3 versus 0.0718 counts × 10 6 /m 3 p 2.5 (cts) concentrations inside the four OWF exposed homes roughly corresponds to a mass PM 2.5 of 37 µg/m 3 , which is above the US EPA 24-h PM 2.5 limit of 35 µg/m 3 .

Mean PM 0.5 (cts) concentrations were 3.44 times as great in the four OWF exposed homes than in the six control homes (0.657 versus 0.191 × 10 6 /m 3 p 2.5 (cts) and PM 0.5 (cts) concentrations were significantly higher in the house 259 m from an OWF as compared with the mean of the six control homes. Conclusion : Existing regulations, such as the present Connecticut law requiring a 61 meter distance between an OWF and neighboring homes, are not adequate to protect the health of neighboring residents.
