Combustion in particular produces aerosol mass including black carbon. Although this only accounts for a small percentage of aerosol particles, black carbon is especially problematic due to its ability to absorb heat and impede the heat reflection capabilities of surfaces such as snow. So, it&#8217;s essential to know how black carbon interacts with sunlight. Researchers have quantified the refractive index of black carbon to the most accurate degree yet, which may impact climate models.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2023-05-dark-clouds-horizon-accurate-black.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Dark clouds on the horizon: The most accurate measurements yet of black carbon in the atmosphere<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our industrialized society releases many and various pollutants into the world.
