Consumer society requires the continuous evolution of products, thus generating a lot waste. The automotive industry has also undergone significant development, 1.5 billion used tires worldwide every year. Landfilling is prohibited and their disposal therefore major issue. Although many studies deal with utilization tire as fuel, there limited research that would specifically describe relationship between pollutant emissions from combustion emitted pollutants firebox temperature. Based on this, this work aims to investigate flue gas concentrations (CO, CO2, NOx, SO2) solid burned in lab-scale electrical furnace at temperature 650 900 °C. decomposition CaCO3 filler during been detected thermal analytical investigation experiments. In case CO pollutant, second maximum concentration observed due presence CaCO3. With increasing temperature, size particles decreases, mesh structure formed becomes denser. At same time, PAHs dominated by aromatic compounds smaller number rings. However, variation does not affect amount benzo(b)fluoranthene fluoranthene relative total concentration.
