The resulting ash was red and used as aggregate for all sorts of things when the tip burned itself out. Mostly in the 1960's Wasn't aware it caused problems. Have to do some research. |

And some images of a red bing: http://www.hiddenglasgow.com/forums/...hp?f=12&t=7251 Looks great for trailbiking -- €œit should be clear by now to everyone that activist environmentalism (or environmental activism) is becoming a general ideology about humans, about their freedom, about the relationship between the individual and the state, and about the manipulation of people under the guise of a 'noble' idea. It is not an honest pursuit of 'sustainable development,' a matter of elementary environmental protection, or a search for rational mechanisms designed to achieve a healthy environment. Yet things do occur that make you shake your head and remind yourself that you live neither in Joseph Stalins Communist era, nor in the Orwellian utopia of 1984.€ Vaclav Klaus |

It was used to fill in the middle of houses to bring the floor level up then a concrete screed lay on top. It was found that some of the acids in the ash caused the screed to disintegrate. |

Suphurous coal will in addition to meiting Sulphur oxides make certain sulhur style comounds with te dah, taht can turn to sulphuhuric acid when wet. Turning cement from insoluble carbonates to soluble sulphates over time.
