Theoretically yes they could but I dont think it will happen. A nationwide ban on smoky coal is more likely.Thanks for the replies guys!!
What about in the future, is it possible the government could ban all burning of solid fuel and render the stove useless?
I'm kinda torn on this. Love an open fire, had one for years at home. But I see the impact of these fires and stoves on urban air quality. Currently use an electric fire, but just the light effect part. I'd like to redesign the fireplace and have fire effect of some sort. I'm not convinced they won't ban them. Might be like diesels though. Too many in situ to ban.
Wood burners triple the level of harmful pollution particles inside homes and should be sold with a health warning
with a closed front all of the fumes go up the chimney, it's just hot convection air coming from the stove, I can sea the gases burning through the glass so I would think there is little polution going up the chimneyRead this recently that would make me think twice...

Detailed proposals on the move, which will be introduced in phases, will be published by February. The fuels to be banned will include coal, peat briquettes, sod turf and lastly wet wood, following studies to determine the level of moisture in wood that may...

Government plans new year ban on sale of all smoky fuels | Business Post
Coal, peat briquettes, sod turf and wet wood will all be targeted on a phased basis. The move comes amid ongoing concerns over the health effects of air pollutionwww.businesspost.ie
Would you consider just blocking up the fireplace altogether? I live in a house that was built in the last 10 years, so does not have a fireplace. When we moved in there was an electric fire and fireplace there to simulate the experience, but it was of course rubbish. We removed it altogether and it has freed up a load of space in the living room to re-organise the furniture and not worry about the hearth or having things in-front of the fireplace. I would never go back to having a fireplace, real or artificial, after the experience of not having one.Hi there......we have a open fire place in sitting room and when not in use is plugged with a bag of insulation to keep the draight out.
So was thinking of a wood burning stove, nothing too big just to heat the room when needed and to keep the draught out.
Thoughts would be great.

they are being incinerated in the fireAs above, the study is clear that the issue is with opening the door to refuel.
When you burn wood and coal, large volumes of pollutants are released, where do you think the pollutants go if you don't think they are not going up the chimney?

Yes, but what has science ever done for us?Are you actually being serious? They are a byproduct of the incineration of the fuel. Unless you're using some kind of complex gas traps to strip them from the gasses?
