Summary

This book addresses the major implications and critical issues surrounding coal combustion products and their impact upon the environment. It provides invaluable information particularly to scientists specializing and conducting research in coal and coal combustion products. Even so, it appeals beyond this initial target audience to serve a wide variety of scientists, scholars, academicians, and professionals within the fields of public health, engineering, energy industry, and a wide realm of environmental science related disciplines. It is our sincere endeavor for this volume of work to serve as a valuable resource tool for those engaged in fossil fuel energy research to benefit both our economy and environment to assure quality of life for future generations.
