| Popis: | The recent development of synthetic liquid fuel products from coal has raised the question of their relative health hazard compared with natural petroleum products. A review of the literature of natural petroleum products and coal-derived synthetic liquid fuels shows some level of mutagenic activity for each. In general, the coal-derived petroleum substitutes tend to be more mutagenic and carcinogenic than the natural petroleum products. Increased hydrotreatment of the coal-derived oil reduces the mutagenicity to levels comparable to the natural petroleum products. The COED syncrude product consistently shows a lower level of mutagenicity and carcinogenicity than all of the other coal-derived products that appear in the literature. |
