Important aspects in source PM2.5 emissions measurement and characterization from stationary combustion systems

ESEM–EDX characterisation of airborne particles from an industrialised area of northern Greece

“…And when considering that no other heavy industrial activities (e.g. reWneries, steel production, blast furnaces, large-scale cement industries) exist in the area, that could produce such airborne pollutants, the amorphous, spherical, inorganic particles that were recognised are most likely related to Xy ash (Lee et al 2004). The amorphous components consist mostly of spheres and spheroids, although angular and irregular particles are not absent.…”

Fly ash–airborne particles from Ptolemais–Kozani area, northern Greece, as determined by ESEM-EDX

“…The emissions arising from lignite burning are fly ash particles, which cause local pollution problems (Esbert et al, 2001;Chen et al, 2004;Lee et al, 2004;Meij and Te Winkel, 2004). Fly ash particles are considered to be highly contaminating, since their high surface area gives rise to the enrichment of potentially toxic elements which condense during cooling of combustion gases (Querol et al, 1996).…”
