Carbonaceous Aerosols' Involvement in Air Pollution and Increased Mortality across Europe
Author(s): Yangin Park*
Air pollution is a growing concern worldwide, with severe implications for public health and the environment. One of the significant contributors to
air pollution is carbonaceous aerosols, which include both Black Carbon (BC) and Organic Carbon (OC) particles. These particles are produced
through various anthropogenic activities, such as the combustion of fossil fuels, biomass burning, and industrial processes. Carbonaceous aerosols
have been linked to a range of adverse health effects, including respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, as well as increased mortality rates. This
article delves into the sources, composition, dispersion, and the health impacts of carbonaceous aerosols, focusing on their involvement in air
pollution and elevated mortality rates throughout Europe... Read More»
