Abstract

Fly ash(FA) is pulverized and burnt product of coal which is critical and toxic ceramic material for an environment. It contains various heavy metals which were harmful for soil health ultimately being a major reason for causing various ailments in humans.. The toxic effects of fly ash was seen on the different parameters of earthworms (Eisenia fetida) at higher concentrations. The physico-chemical properties and heavy metals analysis were done at the higher concentrations (50, 75 and100) of fly ash samples. It was found that pH and EC was very high at FA100. TOC was very high and TKN content was found very low at pure samples of fly ash (FA100). Heavy metals content was also high and almost cross the permissible limits at all concentrations. Thus, it was confirmed the localization of fly ash is hazardous to animals as well as the humans.
