Sažetak
The health effects of the gasifier ash (0.5, 1.0 and 5.0% added to the diet) from a Lurgi coal gasification plant in Yugoslavia were studied in a chronic experiment in rat's. The exposure lasted 32 weeks. The growth .rate was dower only in animals exposed to the highest level of ash additive (5%). Determination of health effect parameters at the end of exposure i.e. of urinary protein excretion, hematological and hlstopathological examination revealed no morphological or functional impairment attributable to the treatment with ash. Therefore no health hazard of ash from coal gasification in conditions of environmental exposure is expected.
