Positive and Negative Effects of Coal

The natural resource that wrote this paper is coal. Coal is a cheap and dirty fossil fuel that we burn to generate electricity. Coal is the richest coal in North America and Russia, including its surrounding areas. There are also considerable coal in China. As with all other fossil fuels, coal is renewable and will be used up in the near future. Coal is very important for many countries in the world. The countries that use coal most are China, America, India, Russia, and Japan.

Coal has been helping the United States for decades. It is also the main cause of global warming and has serious adverse effects on human health and the environment. However, despite more than half of the US electricity supplied between 1981 and 2008, coal generation is decreasing. Coal is formed when dead plant material soaked in wetland environment is exposed to geothermal and pressure for hundreds of millions of years. Over time, vegetables change from moist low carbon peat to coal, energy and carbon intensive black or brown-black sedimentary rock

Access to electricity has a positive impact on the health and happiness of people all over the world. However, the use of coal to produce energy can adversely affect health. There is evidence that coal is affected by human health at every stage of its use (from mining to post-combustion treatment). In particular, coal burning has been thoroughly studied and there is persuasive evidence of broad health effects on the population. Air pollution caused by coal burning in power plants affects respiratory and cardiovascular systems and may lead to abnormal development of the nervous system of the child, poor growth before birth, and possibly cancer. Coal used for indoor heating and cooking produces pollutants in indoor air, and these are known to cause respiratory diseases and cancer. In addition, coal burning contributes to climate change and may harm human health on a global scale.
