Background Particulate air pollution is believed to be the reason for premature
cases of death.
Black carbon (BC) is one major compound originated fromincomplete combustion.
BC may operate as a universal carrier of a wide variety of chemicalconstituents of varying toxicity. (WHO 2012).
Furthermore, BC is a major short-lived climate forcer to warm theatmosphere, regionally.

Motivation for Spatial BC Measurements Particulate air pollution is normally measured at fixed station in two
size classes, PM10 and PM2.5. These measurements don’t provide information about the chemical
composition or the spatial variability. There is no limit value for BC mass concentrations It would be useful to observe BC also routinely, especially in
urban areas with a high mass fraction of BC. Additional spatial measurements of BC would provide a
better awareness of hot spots of BC.

Summary I We investigated spatial distributions of BC in numerous places
around the world.
In central Europe, the BC mass concentration dropped during thelast year due to stronger emission regulations.
At traffic hotspots, the BC mass concentration still reach fewµg/m3.
In general, BC makes only 5-10% of the PM10 mass concentration.
![Page 18: Spatial Variability and Concentrations of Black Carbon in ... · cases of death. Black carbon (BC) is one major compound originated from ... South-America (high altitude metropolitan](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042418/5f33c89321254a014f591198/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Summary II Wood combustion is a increasing problem in Europe, especially in
rural areas, where wood is a cheap solid fuel.
The BC mass concentrations can contribute here significantly tothe PM10 mass concentration.
In isolated metropolitan areas such as La Paz, BC is the dominatingcompound in PM10.
High BC mass concentrations up to 20 µg/m3 are common in themorning hours.

Summary III In Southeast Asia, such as in Manila, old technology vehicles are
used in public transportation.
The PM10 or PM2.5 mass concentrations are not as high as in Indiain China, where the secondary aerosol dominates the massconcentration.
In Manila, BC mass concentration up to 100 µg/m3 are howeverextremely high and can exceed those of cities in China or Indiaduring pollution periods.
