There are big bag houses that capture the particulate which is then
"disposed" of in some fashion that is supposed to be
environmentally-acceptable. We had some big coal ash pond breeches
recently right here in our home state, leading to a lot of pollutant
(which includes all that stuff you mention) release, and there is a big
move to get these ponds cleaned out so they do not pollute the waterways
anymore.

Grant - what happens to the uranium, lead, mercury that is in the coal? Is
that all captured, mostly captured, somewhat captured?

Answer: Nothing that is above the limits of emissions imposed by EPA. Not
for over 30 years.
More than 30 years ago, I was involved in the design, development, and
production of some of the first "Scrubber Systems" to capture coal
pollutants to contain and re-purpose them without emissions into the
atmosphere or environment, pursuant to then existent EPA Rules.
While I moved on to other projects, I remained in the loop re such
equipment and EPA requirements, which became ever more stringent and costly
to comply with.
