Book Description
Coal is known to contain naturally occurring radioactive elements and therehas been speculation that as a result, coal-fuelled power generation stationsmay be significant emitters of these substances. In this report, the subject of radioactivity is introduced. The kinds of radioactive substanceswhich occur naturally in coal formations, the nature of their emissions andthe existing information on their behaviour and their effects onenvironmental organisms are also reviewed. The results of an examination oflevels of alpha, beta and gamma radiation levels, and the substances whichproduce them in coals, fly ashes, bottom ashes and related wastewaters atsix Canadian coal-fuelled power stations are presented. Difficulties instudies of this nature and the potential effects of these releases on organisms in the adjacent aquatic environment are discussed. Existing andpotential technologies for the removal of these substances from wastewatersare examined.
