Summary
| Description |
English: Tiny air pollution particles commonly called soot, but also known as black
carbon, are in the
air and on the move throughout
our planet. The Indo-Gangetic plain, one of the most fertile and densely populated areas on Earth, has become a hotspot for emissions of
black carbon (shown in
purple and
white).
Winds push thick
clouds of
black carbon and
dust, which absorb
heat from
sunlight, toward the base of the
Himalayas where they accumulate, rise, and drive a "heat pump" that affects the region's
climate. |
