This in turn produces lower harmful emissions and lowers the amount of particles that are released into the atmosphere.

It is only suitable to burn wood and smokeless fuels that have been approved by DEFRA. If you burn unauthorised fuels you could be fined up to PS1,000 per hour due to the amount of particles released into air.
