“…Shaclelette et al (1978) reported tungsten to range from 5 to 100 pprn (dry weight) in Rocky Mountain trees and shrubs. Furr et al (1977) found cabbages grown in fly ash-amended soil to accumulated tungsten concentrations from 0.2 to 1.7 ppm dry weight. Levels of tungsten in air, water, and aquatic ecosystems were not found in this initial review.…”

The objective of this study was to evaluate the environmental impacts of tungsten in a military context in response to military and congressional concerns regarding exposures to DU. The primary purposes of this Phase I study were to review the literature for existing data; to formulate a test methodology that will provide a useful life cycle assessment of the environmental impacts of tungsten; and to identify where the data gaps exist. In this initial effort, the environmental pathways by which tungsten chemical species (from penetrator impact fragments and aerosols), deposited on the soil, might find their way into humans were identified. In addition, a new computer-based modeling tool was developed which enables predictions of the ways tungsten is retained and distributed in the body. The toxic effects which might be produced were addressed. This approach can be applicable to other materials and, in fact, provides a useful tool for comparing the relative environmental impacts expected from numerous, alternative materials.An extensive review of the literature reveals that little quantitative information and data are available to permit reliable simulations of tungsten toxicity in humans. In particular, the relative corrosion kinetics of each metal, the relative solubilities in corrosive media, and the relative rate of diffus...

“…Higher levels of molybdenum can produce a disorder called "molybdenosis,,' or molybdenum-induced copper deficiency in animals. Results from field and 1 greenhouse studies with fly ash indicate that selenium concentrations in some crop species approached the foregoing critical levels (Furr et al, 1977;Straughan et al, 1979) and in one particular circumstance exceeded these levels (Gutenmann et al, 1976). Tests with small animals showed elevated selenium and molybdenum concentrations in their tissues and organs when they were fed plant rations grown on fly-ash-;…”

“…The pH of a ly ash suspension, for example, in water can vary depending on the S content of the parent coal [14]. Fly ashes derived from anthracite coals are generally high in S and produce acidic ly ashes while ly ashes derived from lignite coals are low in S but high in Ca and produce alkaline ashes [15,16]. South African coal is sub-bituminous and generates ly ash that is characterized by low Fe content.…”
