Abstract | Information concerning atmospheric emissions arising from the combustion of coal was collected from the published literature and other sources. The data were abstracted, assembled, and converted to common units of expression to facilitate comparison and understanding. From these data, emission factors were established that can be applied to coal combustion processes to determine the magnitude of air pollutant emissions. Also discussed are the composition of coal, theory of coal combustion, emission rates, gaps in emission data, and future research needs. (Author) |
