The composition and size distribution of particles emitted by coal combustion sources depend upon various mechanisms leading to their formation. A review of current ideas about possible mechanisms for formation of combustion aerosols is presented. Available data regarding fly ash size distribution and elemental concentrations in various size fractions were analyzed. These data were qualitatively compared with theoretical model predictions to indicate the relative contributions of various mechanisms in the formation of aerosols.
