There is the problem of determining the polluted emissions in the case of a thermal power plant that uses coal as the main fuel in the Jiu Valley Mining Basin. The experimental determinations were performed at the points located behind the electrostatic precipitators and at the accessible points located behind the flue gas fans. These targeted mass flows and concentrations for indicators: O2, CO, CO2, NOx, SO2, dust: PM 10, PM 2.5, and total. The paper presents the values of average concentrations, determined experimentally, regarding pollutant emissions, including dust. The emissions for the analyzed energy groups were determined, for each category of polluting emissions comparative histograms were made.
