Abstract Most of the people in this world are concerned about the environmental impacts of coal based power plants. Coalfired power plants are one of the sources of SOx, NOx and mercury emissions. These emissions have serious impact on the health of neighboring people such as increased rates of premature death, to the exacerbation of chronic respiratory diseases. The objectives of this review article are: i) To identify the issues of air pollution and the environmental impact of coal fired power plants, ii) To discuss techniques and equipment that can contribute to improve the environmental sustainability. The objectives were tackled by going through extensive literature review, field observations, and attending the applicable meetings and conferences. The research outcomes show that coal will continue to be the key energy source in some countries in the next 20 years, because the reserves of coal with them are relatively high. Such countries have to undertake special considerations to minimize
