Abstract

The structure of fuel consumption in Poland has changed very little in recent years, and coal and lignite are still the dominant fuels in the energy sector. The presence of mercury in coal is a common phenomenon. Its content in coal samples from various deposits from around the world typically ranges from 0.03 to 0.3 mg/kg; however, the amount of mercury in each seam varies.
