*Source for most fly ash data is EPRI CP-INFO Database3. Beryllium„ Thallium, Mercury (bottom
ash only) and Boron (bottom ash only) are from the EPRI PISCES Database
**Source for rock data is US Geological Survey National Geochemical database.7
***Source for most soils data is Shacklette and Boerngen (1984)8; Cadmium and Thallium data
are from Smith et al (2005).9
Table was obtained from the EPRI Technical update- Coal Combustion Products- Environmental Issue, Coal
Ash: Characteristics, management, and Environmental Issues, Table 2, pg 5, EPRI, 2009.
