| Popis: | Potential waste effluents produced by an experimental low Btu coal gasifier were assessed for mutagenic activity inSalmonella strain TA98. Cyclone dust, tar and water effluents were mutagenic, but only following metabolic activation. Neutral and polar polycyclic aromatics contributed significantly to mutagenic activity of Venturi scrubber water and tar. The results indicate that cyclone dust, tar, and water effluents of the experimental low Btu gasifier, as operated in 1979, contain mutagenic material. Potential health hazards associated with these materials should be considered in the design of future coal gasification facilities. |
