The program objective is to establish a data base that will assist in the evaluation of potential hazards of disposing solid wastes from fossil energy power plants. Twenty-four samples were received to determine the amounts of organic solvent extractable matter and aqueous leachable matter. The organic matter that was extracted or leached was characterized by combined gas chromatography/high-resolution mass spectrometry (GC/HRMS) for most of the 24 samples. The stability of the stored samples was also studied over nine months. This report describes the methods used in this study, presents the results, and compares the chemical composition of similar a dissimilar samples. This report contains results of chromatograms and target compound analysis of the leachates.
