Environmental impacts of the production and utilization of carbonaceous fuels: a brief overview
Conference
·
OSTI ID:6598842
The projected increased future use of fossil fuels over the next several decades will intensify many of the current environmental concerns. These concerns include the following: contamination of water resources; consequences of various solid and liquid waste disposal alternatives; atmospheric input of organic emissions, SO/sub x/, NO/sub x/, particulates, smog forming products, and associated acid rains; increased global atmospheric CO/sub 2/ concentrations; and, spills of crude and synthetic oils and their refined products. The development of oil shale, coal, tar sands, and enhanced oil recovery (EOR) resources will have regional impacts related to the distribution of the resources.
