Wood smoke reduction grants

These grants are given to local clean air agencies and Ecology regional offices (if there's no local clean air agency) through a competitive process for projects that will protect people from harmful smoke.

Wood smoke is one of the main sources of air pollution in Washington. Wood stoves, fireplaces, and other wood-burning devices put out hundreds of times more air pollution than other sources of heat, such as natural gas or electricity.
