According to a new law, stoves in Germany must comply with certain limit values. A limit of 0.15 grams per cubic meter applies to dust and four grams per cubic meter to carbon monoxide.
The regulation has been in effect since the end of 2020 for stoves that were produced before 1995. From 2025, stoves installed between 1995 and 2010 will also be affected. If the limit values are not met, appropriate filters can be retrofitted. Otherwise they have to be expanded.

Until that is done, the woman should now, shortly before winter, refrain from using her stove.
