Wikipedia mentions this, but also mentions that progress has been made to reduce pollutant emissions.

Do you have more information?

you can use catalytic afterburners in wood stoves.  Cuts down on the tars and ugly long chain molecules.  You still get a lot of CO2 up the stack.  Cellulose has a lot of carbon and not much hydrogen.

And you better have a well maintained flue.  High temps and a leaky chimney means you get to run out in the night in your jammies while your house burns down.

I once f/ed up and put a box in my wood stove that had some motor oil spilled on it.  The flue was glowing red while we crossed fingers and hoped the roof didn't catch fire.
