Randomized trial quantifies emissions of nanomagnetite particles from biomass power plants, suggesting strategies to reduce pollution.

This research aims to quantify nanomagnetite particle emissions from biomass power plants and assess their toxicity.
Quantified nanomagnetite particle emissions using in vitro assays and machine-learning models.
Derived a global emission inventory based on measured concentrations and operational data from biomass power plants.
Analyzed spatial disparities and projected future emissions under different scenarios for dust removal technologies.
Nanomagnetite particles, despite comprising only 2.3% of particle mass, account for 59% of cytotoxicity.
Global emissions of nanomagnetite particles are projected to reach 230 tons in 2024, with significant contributions from Asia (45%).
Advanced dust removal technologies could potentially reduce global emissions to 76 tons by 2050.
