Theoretically, coatings of essentially non-absorbing components such as organic carbon or sulphate on strongly absorbing core components
such as black carbon can increase the absorption of the composite aerosol (e.g., Fuller et al., 1999; Jacobson, 2001a; Stier et al., 2006a), with results backed up by laboratory studies (e.g., Schnaiter et al., 2003).
For instance, a colleague from the University of Illinois — Tami Bond — has some of the best information on some types of aerosols,
such as black carbon.
For example, pollutants
such as black carbon (BC), organic carbon (OC), sulfur dioxide (SO2) or methane (CH4), affect human health both by altering climate as CO2 does (hereafter climate - health impacts) but also by more directly degrading air quality (hereafter composition - health impacts).

Furthermore, it is suggested that aerosols with high absorptivity
such as black carbon absorb solar radiation in the lower atmosphere, cool the surface, stabilise the atmosphere and reduce precipitation (Ramanathan et al., 2001).
Previous studies suggested impurities
such as black carbon and dust drive melting of bare ice on the lower part of the ice sheet.
Reductions in some short - lived human - induced emissions that contribute to warming,
such as black carbon (soot) and methane, could reduce some of the projected warming over the next couple of decades, because, unlike carbon dioxide, these gases and particles have relatively short atmospheric lifetimes.The amount of warming projected beyond the next few decades is directly linked to the cumulative global emissions of heat - trapping gases and particles.
It also argues for vigorous action to reduce non-CO2 climate forcings and pollutants
such as black carbon and ozone.
[ISPM 6.3 c] This is true of most, but certainly not all, of the cited attribution studies, as even the ISPM admits that some studies do take into account forcings

such as black carbon in a number of key sectors, including transport, agriculture, waste, household cooking and heating, and brick production.
Fast Mitigation: «If we want to reduce the threat of climate change in the near future, there are actions to take now: reduce emissions of short - lived pollutants
such as black carbon, cut emissions of methane from natural - gas fields and landfills, and so on,» says Stanford climate scientist Ken Caldeira.
Preliminary analyses show that most of the pollution was sulphate aerosols — along with dust and carbonaceous particles
such as black carbon.
Whereas the greenhouse gases already in the atmosphere will contribute to warming the planet for many decades to come, Ramanathan says, the good news about warming agents
such as black carbon is that they don't linger in the atmosphere for more than a few weeks.

Most
carbon emissions linked to human activity are in the form of
carbon dioxide gas (CO2), but other forms of
carbon include the methane gas (CH4) and the particles generated by
such fires — the tiny bits of soot, called
black carbon, and motes of associated substances known
as brown
carbon.

such as methane and
black carbon, yields much faster reductions in global warming compared to reductions in CO2.

black carbon.

Taking factors
such as sea surface temperature, greenhouse gases and natural aerosol particles into consideration, the researchers determined that changes in the concentration of
