Screening of heavy metal containing waste types for use as raw material in Arctic clay-based bricks

TL;DR: Leaching tests on crushed brick discs revealed that heavy metals generally became more available after firing for all the investigated materials and that further optimisation is therefore necessary prior to incorporation in bricks.
