Some types of coal contain sulphur, and when burned, release sulphur dioxide; this is the major source of sulphur dioxide emissions. There are ways to scrub pollutants out of the smoke emitted by coal-burning power plants, however, I personally think that it makes more sense to stop burning coal and switch to other methods of power generation.
