The coal when burning releases nitrogen oxides, sulphur dioxide, particulate matter (PM), Mercury, and other substances known to be hazardous to the planet. The chemicals are spewed in to the air and carried on wind etc. The effects of this can be seen near to coal burning industries as the soot (carbon) falls in rain on vehicles and shows up against buildings etc.
