ABSTRACT The Energy Department of the Ministry of Trade and Industry funded the project to determine the factors influencing the formation and quantity of the emissions from peat and wood burning plants. The study was carried out by measurements of dust emissions and sedimen­ tation measurements in three peat and wood burning power plants. This investigation has resulted in the specification of several subjects that need further study.
