Modern DEFRA stoves are pretty clean and efficient.
relatively, yes but overall still pretty bad for air quality.
the study demonstrates that people inside homes with a residential stove are at risk of exposure to high intensities of PM2.5 and PM1 within a short period of time through normal use.

There's plenty of shit in your home that will kill you if you ingest enough of it (in one dose or over a period of time). But I get that you don't want to add extra than there might not be otherwise.
Also depends on how good the set-up is and the skill of the operator, but again I understand people are generally pretty feckless :) (says he who nearly lost an eye 'servicing' a suspension fork).

Watched this video not long ago and it's made me very curious about how much of a difference the quality of the stove, fuel, and maintenance is RE: air quality
I know this is one person and an unverified AQ monitoring device - but still kind of interesting to see the potential variations in results

Yes and no. It is kinda carbon neutral, unlike burning gas (or using the electricity generated from fossil fuels). Modern DEFRA stoves are pretty clean and efficient. But I get that nobody really needs one in their home, in a town or city, anyway.
