    Area of Science:

    • Occupational health and safety
    • Chemical engineering
    • Environmental science

    Background:

    • Coal gasification is an industrial process with potential occupational health risks.
    • Effective prevention of adverse health effects necessitates understanding the underlying technology.
    • Previous research has not fully integrated process knowledge with hazard identification.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To provide an overview of coal gasification technology.
    • To present a systematic approach for identifying health hazards.
    • To summarize ongoing research in occupational safety for this industry.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of coal gasification technological processes.
    • Application of the unit operation specific microenvironment concept for hazard assessment.
    • Compilation of current research initiatives.

    Main Results:

    • Detailed explanation of coal gasification steps and associated potential exposures.
    • A framework for linking specific process units to localized health risks.
    • Overview of National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)-funded research.

    Conclusions:

    • Knowledge of coal gasification technology is fundamental for effective occupational health surveillance and prevention.
    • The unit operation specific microenvironment concept offers a rational basis for hazard identification.
    • Continued research is vital for mitigating health risks in the coal gasification industry.
