Combustion of solid fuels such as coal, biomass and, contrary to the applicable law, waste in individual heating devices still remains a serious problem in Poland. It causes the generation of large amounts of pollutants and harmful substances contained not only in fly ash released into the air with smoke but also in the bottom ash, which constitutes a serious environmental problem. This paper presents the results of a comparative study on the contents of 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in bottom ash from the combustion of hard coal (HC), wood (W) and a mixture of different solid fuels including municipal waste (MW), their sums and profiles. For the bottom ash samples taken for these fuels, the share of carcinogenic congeners in the sum of PAHs, toxicity, mutagenicity and carcinogenicity equivalents have also been determined. The highest content of total PAHs, amounting to an average of 20.7 ppb, was recorded for bottom ash obtained from combustion of a mixture of solid fuels and waste. For such ash, the toxicity and carcinogenicity equivalents were approximately twice as high as for other types of ash. Bottom ash was found to be dominated by benzo[a]anthracene, and the tetracyclic congeners accounted for 60-68% of all PAHs (W

Spalanie paliw stałych, m.in. węgla, biomasy, a także, mimo zakazu, odpadów komunalnych w indywidualnych systemach grzewczych stanowi w Polsce nadal poważny problem. Powoduje to powstawanie dużych ilości zanieczyszczeń i szkodliwych substancji zawartych w pyłach, które trafiają wraz z dymem do powietrza bez jakiejkolwiek kontroli, a popiół paleniskowy będący odpadem stanowi poważny problem środowiskowy. W pracy przedstawiono wyniki badań porównawczych zawartości 16 wielopierścieniowych węglowodorów aromatycznych (WWA) w popiele paleniskowym pochodzącym ze spalania węgla kamiennego (HC), drewna (W) oraz mieszaniny różnych paliw stałych, w tym odpadów komunalnych (MW), ich sumy oraz profile. Wyznaczono także udział kancerogennych kongenerów w sumie WWA, równoważniki toksyczności, mutagenności i kancerogenności. Największą zawartość sumy WWA, wynoszącą średnio 20,7 ppb, odnotowano dla popiołu paleniskowego pochodzącego ze spalania mieszaniny paliw stałych i odpadów. Dla tego popiołu równoważniki toksyczności i kancerogenności były około dwa razy wyższe niż dla pozostałych popiołów. W popiołach dominował benzo[a]antracen, a czteropierścieniowe kongenery stanowiły 60–68% wszystkich WWA (W
