FCSHWM Year 2 (1997-1998)
Year 2: Ash Leaching Studies
Leaching Studies, ash Hazardous when CCA-treated
wood represents 5% of wood burned
Solvents can extract metals from ash, citric acid very promising (40 to 100% As removed)
Year 2: Sorting
Sorting Studies, Laboratory Chemical stains, low capital cost
labor intensive
X-ray methods, high capital costsuitable for on-line system
Untreated Treated
Outline of Work Since 1999 In-Service Issues
Impacts on Soil Runoff and Infiltration* (NIEHS funding) Playgrounds and Children* (NIEHS funding)
