Black carbon is a type of particulate matter produced from incomplete combustion of fossil fuels, biomass, and other organic materials. It appears as a fine black soot and is a significant component of air pollution. Black carbon can absorb sunlight, contributing to global warming by warming the atmosphere and affecting climate patterns. In addition to its climate impact, black carbon poses health risks. When inhaled, it can lead to respiratory and cardiovascular problems. Reducing black carbon emissions is essential for improving air quality and mitigating climate change, making it a focus for environmental policies and initiatives worldwide.
