Everything about Black Carbon totally explained
—
Black carbon (BC) is a form of
carbon produced by incomplete combustion of fossil fuel and wood (forming
soot) or biomass (forming charcoals). It exists in
aerosols,
sediments and
soils. The term
carbon black is mistakenly used for it; that term refers to the black carbonaceous product of industrial processes.
Black carbon refers to the black carbonaceous product of natural and anthropogenic combustion of biomass and fossil fuel. It can also be also be found naturally in graphitic forms.
Recent research suggests that black carbon deposition in Arctic regions may contribute to
global warming by reducing the
albedo of
snow. This not only reduces the amount of solar energy reflected by snow in Arctic regions, but also increases the rate of snow melt, revealing dark substrates like vegetation and soil earlier in the year and thus amplifying black carbon's effect on climate. Especially at high altitude such as the Himalayan Glaciers
, and see also the BC record in a Himalayan ice core.
