Metals from Chinese coal plants are ending up in the Pacific Ocean, with uncertain consequences
Though marine life may benefit from the influx of iron, Simons Collaboration on Ocean Processes and Ecology (SCOPE) research involving Mick Follows and former Darwin Group member B.B. Cael reinforces that the pollution from burning coal will have an adverse effect on human health finds emissions.
