Domestic wood burning is currently the main cause of PM2.5 particulate matter emissions in the United Kingdom, with 38 percent of total emissions. In 1990, domestic wood combustion in the UK accounted for just two percent of PM2.5 emissions, but has increased dramatically over the past three decades. In comparison, the share of PM2.5 emissions from energy industries has fallen from 14 percent to two percent in the same period.
