Basics

  • A solid, mostly carbon, material resulting from the processing of Crude Oil
  • Called "Coking" (delyaed coking?)
  • Often called PetCoke
  • NOT RENEWABLE

Health Hazards

  • It is a major Pollutant due to [[Heavy Metal )? content, mainly vanadium
    • Granted this is due to the Oil/Tar Sands it is currently made from?
  • It also was stored in open piles...near houses...for...increased profit
  • This caused it to form Atmospheric Particulate Matter
