There
  are
  potential
  environmental
  pollution
  issues
  associated
  with
  the
  application
  of
  metal(loid)
 
contaminated
  wood
  ash
  to
  land
  related
  with
  leaching
  of
  contaminants
  out
  of
  soil
  and
  phyto-­‐
toxicity.
 The
 particular
 ash
 used
 in
 this
 study
 had
 high
 concentrations
 of
 As,
 Cu,
 Cr,
 and
 Zn
 so
 the
 
immediate
 concern
 is
 that
 soil
 metal
 loadings
 will
 dramatically
 increase
 with
 high
 or
 repeat
 doses
 
of
  ash
  application.
  Manuring
  soil
  before
  adding
  ash
  can
  buffer
  pH
  and
  reduce
  the
  solubility
  of
 
metals
 in
 from
 the
 alkaline
 ash,
 providing
 binding
 sites
 for
 Cu
 and
 As
 and
 reducing
 phyto-­‐toxicity.
 
Ash
  addition
  to
  soil
  appeared
  to
  have
  no
  consequence
  on
  the
  concentration
  of
  Zn
  both
  in
  the
 
pore
 water
 and
 in
 the
 plants.
 In
 this
 respect
 the
 application
 of
 Zn
 rich
 ash
 will
 only
 serve
 to
 raise
 
total
  Zn
  concentrations
  of
  soil,
  especially
  if
  the
  process
  is
  repeated,
  with
  no
  benefits
  to
  plant
 
nutrition.
  This
  effect
  may
  be
  plant
  species
  and
  soil
  specific.
  It
  remains
  to
  be
  seen
  if
  Zn
  would
 
accumulate
  and
  re-­‐fractionate
  to
  more
  soluble
  forms
  and
  become
  bioavailable.
  If
  this
  were
  the
 
case
 there
 could
 be
 some
 benefits
 regarding
 fortification
 of
 crops
 with
 Zn
 from
 the
 ash.
 In
 general,
 
it
 is
 unlikely
 that
 justification
 for
 repeated
 application
 of
 this
 particular
 ash
 could
 be
 gained
 by
 an
 
increase
 in
 available
 Zn
 in
 any
 case
 as
 the
 risks
 of
 As
 and
 Cr
 leaching
 would
 prove
 too
 great.
