Abstract Coal is an important source of energy and it will remain important to meet the world energy demand. The present study investigates the emissions from combustion of Indian coal and Chinese coal in different combustion conditions. The mass concentration, number concentration, size distribution and surface area concentration in alveolar and tracheobronchial regions were determined using DutTrak, SMPS and AeroTrak respectively, in the fly ash of coal combustion. The mass concentration of PM1, PM2.5 and PM10, and surface area concentration of emission particle from coal combustion were critically higher. PM1, PM2.5 and PM10, emission concentration was higher from Chinese coal in comparison to Indian coal. The number size distribution revealed unimodal distribution. The high surface area concentration of particles implies greater exposure and has health implications.
