Future of Coal Ash Breakout Video

Description

Sept 2nd

Mercury, cadmium, arsenic and chromium can be extremely toxic and they also can be found in the waste from coal-fired power plants called coal combustion residuals (CCRs or otherwise known as coal ash).  Coal ash can be disposed of in two main ways: 1) placing it in a dry landfill or 2) dumping it in a surface pond. The issue posed by dry landfills is that the wind can carry away this toxic coal ash and cause pollution (i.e. acid rain).  This breakout is being taught by some of the leaders in the coal ash industry and they will be presenting on the changes and the future of coal-fired power plants.
