    Health concerns about wood smoke are driving some B.C. municipalities to ban old, inefficient stoves starting as early as next year. Port Alberni — the small Vancouver Island city built on logging, lumber, pulp and paper — is taking the most drastic steps because wood smoke is an additional pollutant to its mix of industrial emissions. By 2017, every wood-burning stove in the city will have to meet the latest emission standards, even in older homes.
