It’s powered by methane, not coal


methane combustion _does_ release PM2.5


If you are close enough to experience a PM2.5 spike from the actual exhaust, then you probably have far worse health issues.


What particles? Why?


basically soot, as combustion is rarely a perfect CO₂ + H₂O


technically, methane is coal (with extra hydrogen)
