title: Strontium leaching from municipal waste subjected to incineration
abstract: The aim of the study was to determine the content and leachability of Sr in ashes obtained through combusting municipal waste in household furnaces. The waste had been collected as a mixed stream and as separate fractions (i.e. furniture, sponges, waste paper, PCV packaging, plastic-coated paper cartons, imitation leather, rubber, textiles and polystyrene). Using single-step chemical extractions, (HCl + HNO<sub>3</sub>, H<sub>2</sub>O, 0.01 M CaCl<sub>2</sub>, 0.1 M CH<sub>3</sub>COOH), we deter
