There is one emitter arranged in the mine emitting the dusts and gases emissions into ambient air located in ZCB (Building Ceramic Facility) with the tunnel kiln for bricks firing and material grinding department as the sources of dusts and gases emissions.
It should be added that segregated mining waste is used as the raw material for the building ceramic elements production. Therefore the emission originates from the combustion of high -methane gas supplied to the tunnel kiln for bricks firing and from coal contained in mining waste is used as the raw material in the production process.

The levels of dusts and gases emissions are strictly associated with the production volumes and the latter are conditioned by the demand for our products. Total annual average volume of the dusts and gases emissions from ZBC amounts about 7 thousand tons. The facility is provided with desulphurising system with the efficiency of 85-90% and with de-dusting systems installed in material grinding department – two textile filters with efficiency of 99,8%. The installations have been modernized in the year 2004 in order to increase flue gas treatment efficiency.
The dead rock (waste) storage area is another potential emitter; particularly in case of dry and windy days. In order to prevent any potential dusting the reclamation of finally shaped slopes of the mining waste dump is continued.
