Abstract

This work is devoted to a study of the combustion products of polymeric waste, expanded polystyrene, both separately and as part of mixed waste. During the experiment, samples of volatile organic components were taken. Toxic components were analyzed by gas chromatography. The data obtained indicate that the combustion of expanded polystyrene as part of discarded garbage has made a significant contribution to environmental pollution.
