Never seen that term before. But coal-fired plants aren't common here. The best we can do is some brown coal, which usually isn't economic. Can you elucidate?

Have you never read the stories about Pittsburgh after WW II? The streetlamps would come on at midday because the air was thick with soot. In Romania in a heavy coal burning area, the ground is/was covered with black soot......it was an environmental disaster. Of course, I think it depends which coal you are burning......bituminous or anthracite.
