| Abstract | The report summarizes available data on in situ coal gasification and in situ oil shale retorting to assess their potential environmental impacts on four areas: (1) groundwater due to leaching of residual materials left underground, (2) those due to subsidence, (3) air quality due to percolation of gases up through the overburden, with subsequent release to atmosphere, and (4) those due to co-produced solid waste consisting of particulate matter coated with condensed hydrocarbons. |
