Management of municipal and hospital wastes by means of incineration processes generates solid residues, such as bottom and fly ashes and air pollution control residues with high content of heavy metals, inorganic salts and other organic compounds. Characterisation of 24 ash samples, collected from four municipal solid waste incinerators (MSWI) and six hospital medical waste incinerators (HMWI) located in the Basque Country Region (Northern Spain), were carried out at the request of Spanish Regulations and European Economic Community guidelines. The ecotoxicity values, EC(50), of the TCLP leachates show a high variability ranging from 12,967 to 1,000,000mgl(-1) in MSWI samples and from 2917 to 333,150mgl(-1) in HMWI samples. Results from chemical characterisation of DIN 38414-S4 leachates show a high concentration of lead, sulphate and chloride in MSWI samples and chromium in HMWI samples.
