“…Concentrations of numerous elements were determined, including potentially toxic metals, such as Pb, Tl, Mn, and Cr. 182 FD-MS technique has been employed in the determination of alkali elements in environmental samples, including cesium in a natural aerosol sample of 1-3 jug. 183 Zinc, cadmium, and lead in environmental samples have been analyzed by a technique involving isotope dilution MS. 184 …”

The evaluation of the potential public and occupational health hazards of developing and existing combustion processes requires a detailed understanding of the physical and chemical properties of effluents available for human and environmental exposures. These processes produce complex mixtures of gases and aerosols which may interact synergistically or antagonistically with biological systems. Because of the physicochemical complexity of the effluents, the biomedically relevant properties of these materials must be carefully assessed. Subsequent to release from combustion sources, environmental interactions further complicate assessment of the toxicity of combustion products. This report provides an overview of the biomedically relevant physical and chemical properties of coal fly ash. Coal fly ash is presented as a model complex mixture for health and safety evaluation of combustion processes.
