- Black carbon is a component of fine particulate matter, formed through the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels, biofuel, and biomass.
- In the tropics, black carbon in soils significantly contributes to the soil fertility.
- Black carbon significantly increases the albedo when deposited on snow and ice.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
CorrectSolution: b)
Black carbon (BC) is a component of fine particulate matter. Black carbon consists of pure carbon in several linked forms. It is formed through the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels, biofuel, and biomass, and is emitted in both anthropogenic and naturally occurring soot. Black carbon causes human morbidity and premature mortality.
In climatology, black carbon is a climate forcing agent. Black carbon warms the Earth by absorbing sunlight and heating the atmosphere and by reducing albedo when deposited on snow and ice.
In the tropics, black carbon in soils significantly contributes to fertility as it is able to absorb important plant nutrients.
