Abstract

Leaching experiments from fly ash and soil with fire-extinguishing water result in significant amounts of PCDD/F in the related leachates. In contrast to the water solubilities the higher chlorinated congeners are leached more easily than the low chlorinated tetra- and penta-congeners. Obviously, the cosolvents present in the fire-extinguishing water enhances PCDD/F solubilities.
