Launched in late 2006 by the National Technical and Education Committee, Coal Ash Matters (CAM) is a biannual publication produced by the Association and its members, with the strategic objective to disseminate current news, research and initiatives of the industry to members and interested readers. Since our first edition, CAM now attracts a targeted and qualified readership of over 2,000 industry members, coal combustion products producers, processors, users and government agencies and regulators.  CAM is available for free download by clicking on the cover page of the issues below (file available as PDF) or by perusing through the ISSUU 'flip book'. 

Contribute to CAM:  send your article idea, dot points or photos and we will work alongside you to turn it into a story.  Email the Ash Development Association of Australia Communications Coordinator Sam Patane, at info@adaa.asn.au
