The smoke contains large quantities of tiny ultrafine particles, smaller than the wavelength of light, that can deposit themselves deep in our lungs.

The findings were an accidental discovery while researchers were testing fuels in traditional and modern eco design stoves. #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis #GlobalWarming

‘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
