Article Synopsis
- Coal combustion produces ultrafine particles, leading to health issues in developing countries, particularly from coal fly ash (CFA) nanoparticles (CFA-NPs).
- The study utilized advanced imaging techniques to characterize CFA-NPs as predominantly spherical and sized between 7-50 nm while revealing the presence of heavy metals.
- Toxicity tests demonstrated that CFA-NPs cause significant cytotoxic effects in various cell lines, marked by inhibited cellular metabolism, increased reactive oxygen species, reduced intracellular glutathione, and DNA damage.
