Air pollution from coalfired power plants is linked with asthma, cancer, heart and lung ailments, neurological problems, acid rain, global warming, and other severe environmental and public health impacts. Coal has long been a reliable source of American energy, but it comes with tremendous costs because it is incredibly dirty.

One of the most obvious albeit perhaps least harmful environmental effects of coal mining is noise pollution. Coal mining is a loud, day and nightlong process that disrupts the lives of those in the surrounding communities, reduces the quality of life and can go on for decades. 11 Loss Of Wildlife

Coal power plants transport coal on a coal bunker to a pulverizing mill. The plant burns pulverized coal to boil water and produce steam that spins a turbine to produce electricity. The steam is cooled, condensed, and returned to the boiler for reuse. Waste heat is transferred to the atmosphere or to a nearby source of water.

Coal has long been a reliable source of American energy, but it comes with tremendous costs because it is incredibly dirty. The same chemistry that enables coal to produce energythe breaking down of carbon moleculesalso produces a number of profoundly harmful environmental impacts and pollutants that harm public health.

Coal mining. The environmental factors of the coal industry are not only impacting air pollution, water management and land use but also is causing severe health effects by the burning of the coal. Air pollution is increasing in numbers of toxins such as mercury, lead, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and other heavy metals.

Mining and burning coal for fuel is harmful to the environment but, because coal is so abundant and cheap, many people are reluctant to give it up as a fuel source. Coal starts as peat, or sections of partially decomposed organic matter that accumulate on the earths surface. Over millions of years, the peat is

The environmental impact of the operation of the coal industry is gigantic if not executed according to environmental standards. Coal mining, the process of extracting coal from the ground, is a common economic activity around the world. Coal is removed in a number of ways including contour mining, strip mining, and mountaintop removal.

Natural gas is a fossil fuel, though the global warming emissions from its combustion are much lower than those from coal or oil. Natural gas emits 50 to 60 percent less carbon dioxide CO2 when combusted in a new, efficient natural gas power plant compared with emissions from a typical new coal plant 1 .

This method cuts down on dust problems, and at least in theory, the impoundments are engineered to let excess water flow out without leaking tailings. Coal ash, while not a type of tailing, is a coal burning byproduct stored the same way, and carrying similar environmental risks.

Many of the existing pulverised coalfired PCF power stations are operated at a fixed steady load i.e. baseload operation. There is however a growing requirement for load following or flexible operation, which requires flexibility in most of the components of the power station. Flexibility and efficiency can be improved by close control of the coal
