Annotation	A flue gas originating from a municipal waste incinerator was used as a source of CO2 for the cultivation of the microalga Chlorella vulgaris. The utilization of the flue gas containing 10-13percent (v/v) CO2 and 8-10percent (v/v) O2 for the photobioreactor agitation and CO2 supply was proven to be convenient. The growth rate of algal cultures on the flue gas was even higher when comparing with the control culture supplied by a mixture of pure CO2 and air (11percent (v/v) CO2). Correspondingly, the CO2 fixation rate was also higher when using the flue gas (4.4 g CO2 l-1 24 h-1) than using the control gas (3.0 g CO2 l-1 24 h-1). The toxicological analysis of the biomass produced using untreated flue gas showed only a slight excess of mercury while all the others compounds (other heavy metals, PAHs, PCDD/Fs, and PCBs) were below the limits required by the European Union foodstuff legislation
