It has been reported that fly ash collected from the stack breeching of a conventional coal-fired power plant contains mutagenic material which can be extracted into horse serum or organic solvents. This result caused concern that similar material might be present in the fly ash released from oil-burning power plants. By using the five tester strains of Salmonella typhimurium, the authors have demonstrated the presence of mutagens on oil fly ash collected from an oil-burning power plant.
