“…At room temperature, reaction rates at relative humidities greater than the phase transition values for the soluble salts were much higher than the reaction rates at relative humidities <60%. Corn and Cheng (1972) monitored the concentration of sulfur dioxide in a gas stream passing through a plug flow reactor containing insoluble particles. Particles of fly ash, CaCoe, and V2Og were ineffective in reducing the concentration of sulfur dioxide while particles of Fe20s, MnC>2, activated carbon, and suspended particulates from the air in Pittsburgh were effective in varying degrees.…”

“…Fly ash (0.5-10 ,um diameter) is largely of respirable size, and is, therefore, preferentially deposited in the lung. However, one study has shown that S02 in the presence of insoluble fly ash, is neither oxidized nor adsorbed at room temperatures and high relative humidity (83). Trace elements in the fly ash of possible toxicological significance (apart from their role as a catalyst and/or carrier of toxic gases) include silica, beryllium, lead, cadmium, arsenic, selenium, thallium, antimony, and vanadium, (84).…”

An area of major concern in considering increased coal production and utilization is the health and safety of increased numbers of workers who mine, process, or utilize coal. Hazards related to mining activities in the past have been especially serious, resulting in many mine related accidental deaths, disabling injuries, and disability and death from chronic lung disease. Underground coal mines are clearly less safe than surface mines. Over one-third of currently employed underground miners experience chronic lung disease. Other stresses include noise and extremes of heat and cold. Newly emphasized technologies of the use of diesel powered mining equipment and the use of longwall mining techniques may be associated with serious health effects. Workers at coal-fired power plants are also potentially at risk of occupational diseases. Occupational safety and health aspects of coal mining are understood well enough today to justify implementing necessary and technically feasible and available control measures to minimize potential problems associated with increased coal production and use in the future. Increased emphasis on safety and health training for inexperienced coal miners expected to enter the work force is clearly needed. The recently enacted Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 will provide impetus for increased control over hazards in coal mining.
