The source of black carbon in the Arctic

The Arctic is located in the extreme north, with a bitter and cold climate and unique ecology. The source of black carbon is related to its environmental changes, which is quite important in the academic community.

One of the sources of black carbon in the Arctic is natural causes. In the past, when volcanoes erupted, hot magma broke through the shackles of the earth's crust, and billowing smoke carried a large amount of black carbon into the sky. Drifting with the wind, some of them fell in the Arctic. In addition, there are frequent wildfires in forests and grasslands, and the raging flames burn up the grass and trees, and the black carbon produced also migrates to the Arctic by air currents.

The second is the human factor. Since modern times, industry has flourished, factories have been built, and chimneys have been like forests. Burning coal, oil and other fossil fuels releases huge amounts of black carbon. Ships shuttle through the Arctic waters, and the black carbon produced by the burning of fuel oil also escapes from the surrounding area. What's more, the black carbon generated by agricultural straw burning and living stoves in distant land areas is transported through atmospheric circulation and finally reaches the Arctic.

A detailed study of the source of black carbon in the Arctic is of great significance for understanding the evolution of the Arctic ecological environment and the laws of climate anomalies. Only by clarifying its source can we take effective measures to protect the ecology of the Arctic and maintain the peace of the earth.
