In Europe mainly at winter season the PM levels exceed air quality limits, which correlated with the operation of solid-fired boilers. More and more people are returning to using these devices due to energy shortage caused by the pandemic and regional conflicts. In addition, the phenomena of co-burning fuels and municipal waste in residential boile...

The range of changes in the characteristics of powder mixtures, even of the same brand, expands due to different storage periods and progressive degradation of the powders. The need to simplify the procedure for determining the composition and energy characteristics of the powders used is emphasized. The purpose of simplification is to increase the...

... Examples include directing waste fractions that can be recycled organically or materially to landfills or to incineration [11][12][13][14], improper storage or landfill of troublesome waste leading to soil and water environment pollution, uncontrolled biogas generation and greenhouse and odor gas emissions, or causing spontaneous combustion and fires in landfills [15][16][17][18][19]. This also includes the illegal disposal of flammable waste through deliberate burning by arson [20][21][22][23], as well as the open burning of agricultural residues or municipal solid waste [24][25][26][27] and the combustion of waste in residential furnaces [28][29][30]. ...
