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.

Coal will continue to provide a major portion of energy requirements in the United States for at least the next several decades. It is imperative that accurate information describing the amount, location, and quality of the coal resources and reserves be available to fulfill energy needs. It is also important that the United States extract its coal resources efficiently, safely, and in an environmentally responsible manner. A renewed focus on federal support for coal-related research, coordinated across agencies and with the active participation of the states and industrial sector, is a critical element for each of these requirements. Coal focuses on the research and development needs and priorities in the areas of coal resource and reserve assessments, coal mining and processing, transportation of coal and coal products, and coal utilization.
