What is Black Carbon?

Black carbon (BC), airborne soot-like carbon particles, is a highly impactful pollutant emitted from incomplete combustion processes like burning fossil fuels, biomass, and waste. Among man-made contributors to global climate warming, the effect of BC is the second-largest behind carbon dioxide. Not only does BC contribute to climate change, but it also poses significant risks to respiratory health, and negatively affects air quality on both local and global scales.

Advanced monitoring solutions to combat black carbon emissions

Acoem Met One’s black carbon monitoring solutions and expertise help you take control of black carbon emissions. We empower you to make informed decisions and implement effective strategies for reducing this potent pollutant. Understanding and controlling black carbon concentrations is vital for improving air quality and protecting public health. By employing effective monitoring solutions, we can track pollution sources, assess exposure risks, and implement strategies to reduce emissions.

The importance of monitoring black carbon concentrations

Monitoring black carbon emissions is essential for understanding their sources and impacts. Our black carbon monitoring solutions, such as portable black carbon monitors and tape-based carbon monitors BC 1060 and C12, provide accurate and real-time data. This information is critical for implementing effective reduction strategies, improving air quality, and mitigating climate change. By monitoring black carbon concentrations and trends, we can take informed actions towards a cleaner and healthier environment.
