Yes, you are contributing to air pollution.

When wood is burnt, there is production of smoke which contains air pollutants such as Carbon Monoxide (CO), volatile organic compounds, Nitrogen oxides, particulate matters and toxic (cancer causing) pollutants which contributes to air pollution and can cause health problems when inhaled by people. Exposure to carbon Monoxide (CO) which is a colorless, odorless gas that is produced by burning woods can result in long-term health problems and even death.
