Wood burning fireplaces are the number 3 cause for particulate matter in air pollution.
It's the number 4 cause for the release of nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, volatile organic chemicals, and polycyclic organic matter.
But, since it's only now being scientifically studied, they are finding it as dangerous as tobacco smoke except in much higher concentrations.
When you think about it, it does make sense. FYI, CA isn't the only state with such restriction.
