Ten years of woodburner research in New Zealand: A review.

Burning wood for domestic heating is a major contributor to PM pollution throughout New Zealand and has been a focus for air quality research for well over a decade. The majority of the research has concentrated on emissions of PM10 from domestic woodburners for inventory purposes but other research has also been carried out: investigating spatial and temporal variation of ambient wood smoke, population exposure, indoor exposure, health impacts and behaviour. This paper reviews the last decade's research and places it within an international context, concluding that findings are consistent with international research and that New Zealand is well placed to be an important member of the international wood smoke research community.
