Beyond black lung: scientific evidence of health effects from coal use in electricity generation.

Susan Buchanan1, Erica Burt1, Peter Orris1.   

Abstract

While access to electricity affects health positively, combustion of coal in power plants causes well-documented adverse health effects. We review respiratory, cardiovascular, reproductive, and neurologic health outcomes associated with exposure to coal-fired power plant emissions. We also discuss population-level health effects of coal combustion and its role in climate change. Our review of scientific studies suggests that those we present here can be used to inform energy policy.
