Wood stoves are a major problem. As soon as it gets cold in Germany, air pollution rises from below 5µg/m^3 to 20-100 µg/m^3 and stays there for months (in this particular area).

Wood stove smells good so acceptable air pollution.

Does this mean we can go back to 2 stroke engines then? That would be amazing, I mean not for the planet but I love that smell so much…
