96 hour static bioassays were conducted with 1-6 day-old fathead minnow fry to determine the acute toxicity of leachates generated from Lurgi gasification ashes, an H-Coal liquefaction residue and an SRC-I liquefaction residue, LC-50 values, their 95% confidence intervals and the amount of dilution necessary to eliminate mortality during the 96 hour bioassays were determined. Leachates that were generated from the solid wastes or four pH levels and under anaerobic and aerobic conditions were analyzed for approximately 40 chemical constituents.
