田纳西河流域管理局（TVA）金斯顿燃煤发电厂发生美国历史上最大的煤灰泄漏事故之一，对事故发生后立即对环境和健康的潜在影响进行了调查，调查结果显示了三个主要发现。首先，煤灰表面释放的有毒元素（As = 75 mg/kg; Hg = 150 μ g/kg）和放射性（Ra-226 + Ra-228 = 8 pCi/g）高，有可能产生再悬浮的环境细颗粒物（
An investigation of the potential environmental and health impacts in the immediate aftermath of one of the largest coal ash spills in U.S. history at the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) Kingston coal-burning power plant has revealed three major findings. First, the surface release of coal ash with high levels of toxic elements (As = 75 mg/kg; Hg = 150 mu g/kg) and radioactivity (Ra-226 + Ra-228 = 8 pCi/g) to the environment has the potential to generate resuspended ambientfine particles (
