Monitoring the Production of Selected PAHs on PM10 from Thermally Active Dump Hermanice Ostrava (Czech Republic)

Black coal mining in the Ostrava-Karvina district is responsible for the creation of at least six mining diggers. The material that touched both carbon and aggregates from the mined areas. As a result of the imperfect separation and ignorance of modern technologies, a high percentage of coal is imposed. Due to processes such as pressure (due to compaction), sulfur content (pyrite, chalkopyrite) and high humidity, self-ignition of the dump occurred. The dredging it self was great environmental burden, but the thermally active dump increased the level of danger. Thermal waste incineration processes result in increased dust, but also greenhouse gases and PAHs. Measurement at Hermanice Dump (Czech Republic) was performed by HPLC. Pollutants of PAHs were measured. The measurements were carried out from June 2016 to June 2017. The mean concentration of Σ16 PAH was 1 353.81 mg kg-1 in the Hermanice wasteland. Concentrations have been found to be no different in the course of the year. For minor factors, the differences are only minimal. Due to the nature of the weather conditions, the city of Ostrava and the adjacent areas are the most affected
