Air pollutant emissions from single solid fuel furnaces
Description
The report by the Federal Environment Agency captures and analyses emission-relevant aspects of the use of individual furnaces for solid fuels in Austria. As part of a market study, a stock of 1,368,700 individual furnaces and 53,500 new installations was determined for 2009. Of these, around 38.3% were sold in the low-priced segment via DIY stores. The results show that the operation of manually operated individual furnaces has a greater influence on air pollutant emissions than technological differences. More than 600 users of individual furnaces were asked about individual aspects such as operating times, ignition process, after-lay intervals or fuel consumption. The emissions of carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, total dust and organic gaseous carbon were estimated quantitatively depending on the single furnace category.
