Here are all of the ways that coal is bad for your health

International evidence studies indicate that the incidence of cancer, heart, lung and kidney diseases and birth defects increases in communities near coal mines and coal-fired power plants.
Complete research [PDF] reveals the health effects of coal pollution by analyzing reports from coal communities all over the world.
Cardiopulmonary disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and other lung diseases, hypertension, kidney disease, heart attack and stroke, and asthma
Increased probability of COPD hospitalization (1% for 1,462 ton coal mines) and high blood pressure (1% for 1873 ton coal mines)
Not all studies reported this symptom, but respiratory symptoms increased, such as wheezing, coughing, and absenteeism, at respiratory symptoms schools
The incidence of neural tube defects is high, the prevalence of any birth defects is higher, and the birth weight is likely to be lighter (future risk factors for obesity, diabetes and heart disease)
Adults (and the entire population) of communities near coal-fired power plants and coal-fired power plants know the following.
Outcomes of children, infants and fetuses have been found in communities near coal-fired power plants and coal burning facilities
This is a summary of the findings of the first part of the analysis. For those who are interested, the authors point out that research is excluded if coal mining or combustion is not the cause of air pollution.
After listening to the news, the American coal companies soon began to encourage their mines to close down and switch their customers to different energy sources. "Coal has brought about too much damage," said a CEO. "We feel embarrassed that our profits will exceed the needs of the community." Drum circle will raise awareness. *
Coal was once the king of the United States, and even occupied more than 40% of our electricity. However, coal is the most contaminated of all fossil fuels, which is bad news for our health and the environment. The good news is that people all over the world are transitioning from dirty, contaminated coal to clean, renewable and affordable energy. Fractures are a false solution to the latest energy problems in the fossil fuel industry. It is more expensive than clean renewable energy, and it is more contaminated and more dangerous. Hydropower is increasing greenhouse gas pollution and environmental degradation while transferring capital and attention to the real long-term solution needed for our sustainable energy system
Coal-fired power plants risk all deadly energy. According to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), 84 out of 187 hazardous air pollutants threatening environmental and human health are emitted from coal-fired power plants. In the United States, there are about 1,200 coal-fired power generators in 450 facilities. These generated about 44.6% of domestic electricity ("coal-fired power plant"). These plants are found throughout the United States, most of which are in the Midwest and Southern states. Crystal River in Florida, Juliet, Georgia, Owensburg, Indiana, Akasco, Maryland, and Monroe, Michigan ("Current Coal Fired Plant List") have large and dangerous coal-fired power plants. These plants will automatically cause further problems in cities such as cheaper lands, low standard of living, and incurable health problems.
A coal-fired power plant occupies more than half of the power generation in the United States. According to the attack on human health of coal, a non-profit socially responsible physician (PSR) said that coal combustion is known to be harmful to mercury, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, and human health Other Of the substance is released. The report assesses the impact of coal pollution on our respiratory, cardiovascular and nervous systems and concludes that air pollutants from coal combustion can cause asthma, lung cancer, congestive heart failure and stroke I am attaching.
