Particulates (what comes out of the chimney) are a known health hazard. Particulates travel for miles according to the World Health Organisation (WHO). The distance travelled is determined by wind speed and direction as well as weather conditions. You would be affected if you live within 25 miles according to PAIN. This particulate fall out would be additional to any particulates already present in your area. Click on the map below to enlarge.
