Description
The topic of this paper was the factors relating to providing future health care for increased population in support of coal energy development in western North Dakota. many questions are presently unanswered relating to possible
detrimental effects that large scale coal energy development would have on air quality, as well as the impacts that emissions would have on plants, animals and humans. Additional unanswered questions include how to dispose of solid waste materials satisfactorily and how to successfully reclaim strip mined lands. Many of the presently unanswered questions relating to coal energy development concern human health. The quality of the future natural and man-made environment in southwestern North Dakota will have a decided influence on the health care delivery system in that area.
