Coal fueled the Industrial Revolution and the global expansion of electrification in the Twentieth Century.  In this century, coal use has declined in North America and Europe, but continued to increase in developing economies.  Coal contains a wide swath of the elements of the Periodic Table in trace amounts.  The impact of these trace elements on the environment via air and water discharges from coal-fired plants has been documented through decades of research into their chemical transformations in combustion systems.  This review highlights key accomplishments in measurement, modeling and control of trace element emissions in coal-fired systems.
