As a participant in the federal government's energy R & D program, Health and Welfare Canada has been involved in an ongoing review and study of the potential impact of the new synthetic fuels on health. One special focus has been the study of the potential health effects of coal liquefaction processes and the development of guidelines and procedures for the protection of workers in Canadian coal liquefaction R & D establishments. This report is an integrated version of two earlier reports and includes a description of the coal liquefaction process, the main hazards and toxicities, industrial hygiene in the U.S. and elsewhere, safety practices, the medical and environmental aspects of surveillance, and the development of a health surveillance record system.
