UK to tighten wood-burning stove rules, limiting emissions and adding health warnings to reduce pollution-related health risks.
The UK government is proposing stricter rules for new wood-burning stoves, aiming to cut smoke emissions by 80% to one gram per hour and requiring health warning labels on stoves and fuel.
The move, part of a 2026 consultation, targets rising PM2.5 pollution from residential burning linked to respiratory and heart diseases.
Fines for non-compliance could rise to £2,000.
While the changes apply only to new appliances, officials stress the need to improve air quality and protect public health, with 23% of UK homes using solid fuel.
Environmental groups say the steps are a start but insufficient.
