Soft [coal] is much more polluting than hard.

It has more sulphur.

I have read that Eastern coal is all soft coal

No, PA has both bituminous and anthracite coal. The western PA coal is almost all bituminous, which is soft coal. The central PA coal is hard anthracite.

Shamokin, Shendo and the other historic east PA mining towns are sitting on one huge vein of anthracite coal. One part of which, underneath Centralia, is in slow-burn.
