Combustion of plastics is a very complex process and phenomena, which occur during this process, have not been sufficiently investigated. Polyolefins constitute almost half of all the generated plastics. In this study, the influence of temperature and the ratio of air excess on the concentration of pollutants in flue gases have been presented. The studies carried out on the designed test bench were preceded by a series of thermal analyses (TG, DSC, TG-MS).
