Household furnaces combusting solid fuels have been considered distinctive producers of solid pollutants (TSP). In 2005 ca 35 % of all dust emissions PM10 (in Czech Repulic) came from household heating. But the combustion facilities of small output cannot be considered identical sources of pollution as they can work on different combustion principles and thus have outstandingly different emission factors. The article presents the results of experimental determination of solid pollutants emissions including the overall TSP division to PM10 and PM2,5 fractions for four basic types of furnaces for brown coal combustion.
