Environmental risk management - Conference of the Parties - emissions - greenhouse gases - super pollutants.
Black carbon is a fine particle byproduct of incomplete combustion from fossil fuels, biofuels and biomass. It is the second-largest contributor to global warming after carbon dioxide.
Major sources of black carbon emissions include combustion engines, coal-fired power plants, and any source burning fossil fuels, including natural wildfires.
Linked to adverse health effects such as heart attacks, strokes, cancer, and developmental issues in children, black carbon has a relatively short lifespan of 4-12 days but exerts a warming impact 1,500 times greater than CO2 per unit of mass.
