Abstract

Beside of industry, agriculture, and transport, primarily the solid combustion plants used by households are responsible for the emission of gaseous and solid pollutants in ambient air. Thus, the actual reduction of air pollutant concentration also can be achieved by regulating of residential heating. New, solid-fired, individual room heating systems will have to meet stricter emission requirements from 1 January 2022. People in poorer regions are not able to buy new equipment, so in most households old equipments in poor condition remain in use. In addition, the population – albeit illegal – in most cases also burn the combustible waste generated in the households in their stove or boiler, which further increases the amount of air pollutant emissions. So far the authorities cannot be to clearly demonstrate the combustion of waste from the flue gas and residual ash, because these methods are expensive and hardly unworkable, as the authorities find it difficult to get into private homes.
