Is it safe to burn wood that has green mold on it?

Answer by  Kimmie5150 (42)

Is it wood or tree logs that you want to burn? If it is wood with mold on it, I would not burn it since I would be concerned about mold spores. If it's tree that you've cut down, it's probably just harmless lichens growing on the bark. Completely safe to burn then.

It should be safe, but just to be sure, you can keep others away from the smoke, and wear a face mask.

When the green felt such as mold when it is imbedding in the wood that is arsenic and when burn it the arsenic is transfered into the air. No-Burn products offer a dual level of protection, reducing the risk of fire and resisting the growth of toxic black mold.
