Abstract
The studies on elemental carbon content in the atmospheric air, performed at the air monitoring station in Katowice (Poland), have revealed violations of allowable maximum average annual and diurnal concentrations. Elemental carbon is introduced into the atmosphere mainly as soot generated from combustion processes. This work presents the determination of elemental carbon in emission generated from coal combustion processes.
