I don't know anything about modern coal furnaces. I was just pointing out that unfiltered coal exhaust isn't good. I know a lot of people, who if they could get/make the grates to burn coal in their wood stoves and had a source would do so. I'm sure that many more that I don't know would do it too. All without any filtration. It could be a bad thing. If a modern coal furnace has the filters/scrubbers I have no problem with it.
But like in London, when every building was heating with coal, plus the out put from the factories an air inversion was a very dangerous situation. The people most affected were the very young and the old.
Any of you actually experienced acid rain? I'd heard about. Was in the news a lot while I was in Germany in the mid 80's. When I got back and left here to go to Ft Knox I drove through acid rain in the Chicago area. I was watching my new wipers blades dissolve in it. Up to that point I was a nonbeliever.
I really don't care what anyone burns for heat and long as in the long run it's safe. I don't even care about unfiltered wood smoke.
This really wasn't an anti coal post. More like being a wake up if too many people went back to coal without having proper protections.
