Sure is a lo tof ash, but it is generally biodegradable, and fairly short
term, compared to the biodegradability & lifespan of Atonic waste.
The serious effects of ash fallout may be annoying, and in convenient,
but better than the other kind. Chernobyl should not have ha[ppened, but
it did, and checkout the effects of the fallout fron that, and compare ith
ash (apart from the acid rain, whisc is more the sulphite/suplphide group
comining with water to form acids. Ash is not to bad a fertiliser,; check
out how volcanic ash is in that regard.
