[Stoves] Cow dung Emission Factor

[Kevin Chisholm]

Dear Simon

Dung contains chlorides which can form dioxins, under certain conditions.

Does your work permit analysis of the products of dung combustion for 
possible dioxin content?

Would you know if the health problems associated with Indoor Air Quality 
are worse with fuels containing chloride than fuels that don't?

Best wishes,

Kevin
