“…Sulphur content in feedstock is low (<1%); in addition the high content of calcium oxides in the mineral matter of the raw lignite contributes to negligible releases of sulphur oxides in the flue gases. Thus, dust emissions seem to be the most significant air pollution problem in the area; the measured ambient concentrations of suspended particles are often at high levels exceeding local and international standards [4,5]. The high particulate concentration in this area has been attributed to two parameters: (a) particulates released in the flue gases of the thermal power stations.…”

“…Several studies have shown correlation between respiratory symptoms and heart diseases with the inhalable particles [2,3]. Particles with a size less than 10 mm (PM10) have long been implicated in causing adverse health effects and increased mortality [4] whereas fine (PM2.5) and ultrafine particles impose even higher risk [5][6][7]. Thus, it is of paramount importance the ability to correlate the sources and chemical composition of aerosols with their biological impact.…”

The investigation of ecotoxicological effects of particulate matter and the increasing interest in correlating chemical composition to biological impacts is of paramount importance. A complete assessment of biological impacts will require a broad look at the effects of human health and the terrestrial and aquatic environments. The objective of this work was to assess the effects of various sizes of particulates on aquatic organisms. Samples were collected from filters and the filter contents were extracted with DCM using a Soxhlet extractor. Then concentration DCM extracts were condensated to 2 ml by rotary evaporation and each millilitre of extract was exchanged with 1 ml of DMSO and then diluted to freshwater. The samples were then analyzed for their ecotoxicological properties with Vibrio fischeri and bioassay. Five consecutive dilutions of the sample were tested in order to determine the EC50 values as a result of different size of particulates.
