AbstractLignite gasification ash from the Morgantown Energy Technology Center (METC) gasifier was subiected to two short-term leaching treatments. The cnncentrations of regulated elements in the EPA EP procedure leachate from the bulk METC ash did not exceed the “EP Trigger Limits.” A modification of this procedure that uses a basic synthetic groundwater instead of the acid EP extractant was also performed on the bulk ash and its eleven size fractions. Water equilibria modeling was used to explain the concentrations of major elements in solution. Corcentrations of minor and trace elements in solution after leaching with synthetic groundwater were also below “EP Trigger Limits.”

The possibility to discriminate between different emission sources and between natural and anthropogenic contributions is a key issue for planning efficient air pollution reduction and mitigation strategies. Moreover, the knowledge of the particulate matter (PM) chemical composition for the different size fractions is recognized as increasingly important, in particular with respect to health effects of exposed population. This study is focused on the characterization of PM10 and PM2.5 main sources located in the Civitavecchia harbor-industrial area (Central Italy), namely a large coal-fired power plant, a natural gas power plant, the harbor area, the vehicular traffic (due to both the local traffic and the highway crossing the area) and small industrial activities. The approach was based on PM10/PM2.5 samples monthly collected for one year and a further relative chemical characterization of organic and inorganic fractions. Wind-select sensors, allowing a selective PM10 and PM2.5 sampling downwind to specific emission sources, were used for the overall sampling. This methodology manages to explain specific emission patterns and to assess the concentration levels of the micro pollutants emitted by local sources and particularly toxic for health. A descriptive statistical analysis of data was performed, also verifying the occurrence of legislative threshold exceedances. Moreover, in order to highlight the contribution of specific sources, the differences in the measured micro pollutants concentrations between wind directions, PM size fractions and sampling sites have been investigated, as well as the seasonal trends of pollutants concentrations. These results allow to highlight that the applied methodology represents a valid support in source apportionment studies.
