Book excerpt: A topical selection of papers from a July-August 2001 conference in Ontario on the biogeochemistry of trace elements in general, has been augmented with contributions invited from researchers well versed in coal and the byproducts of its combustion. In the resulting 22 articles, scientists in the earth and environmental sciences, engineering, mathematics, and other disciplines from a number of countries consider the environmental impact of coal combustion residues, trace elements in fly ash, the transport and leachability of metals from coal and ash piles, and using coal as an agricultural soil amendment. Some of the chapters are double spaced. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
