Carbonaceous aerosol emission inventories suggest that approximately 34 to 38 % of emissions come from biomass burning sources and the remainder from fossil fuel burning sources.
Not exact matches
Aerosols are solid or liquid particles suspended in the atmosphere, consisting of (in rough order of abundance): sea salt, mineral dust, inorganic salts such as ammonium sulfate (which has natural as well as anthropogenic sources from e.g. coal burning), and
carbonaceous aerosol such as soot, plant
emissions, and incompletely combusted fossil fuel.
