Abstract

Results of works on estimating the environmental hazard classes of ashes and slags from power-generating facilities are presented. It is determined that the overwhelming majority of ashes and slags from power stations can be related to nonhazardous materials, which can be used as secondary raw mineral stock in producing construction materials.
