Abstract
In the present study the leachability characteristics of fly ash and its effect on soil and ground water contamination. During the course of study it was found that despite the presence of the only trace amount of heavy metal in coal and coal ash, these material have the potential to accumulate in soil and increase in concentration by food chain biomagnification.
