Organic compounds and markers from coal combustion in different types of boilers used for household heating

Abstract

Organic compounds (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) and organic markers (hopanes) used for the identification of aerosol emission sources were measured in emissions from the combustion of hard and brown coal. Coal was combusted in different\nboilers used for residential heating in the Czech Republic, i.e., overfire boiler, boiler with down-draft combustion and automatic boiler
