This article deals with the issue of a carcinogenic danger to public health of emissions of heat power facilities operating on solid fuel. Considering the range of distribution of flue gas emissions from thermal power plants and the population of a population that is exposed to a prolonged influ-ence of carcinogenic substances, the danger of such objects from the medical point of view is unques-tionable. The need for monitoring air pollution by carcinogens, monitoring compliance with effective operating conditions for gas and dust treatment facilities, as well as mandatory scientific support for reconstruction of old facilities and construction of new ones is indicated.
