‘Smokeless’ fuels produce more ultrafine particles that get embedded in lungs, study shows The tiny size of the particles means they can become deposited deep in people’s lungs, causing a health risk

For each kilogram burned, the low-smoke fuels produced between two and three times more ultrafine particles than wood or coal.
