Take-home messages
Black carbon is very distinct from other particles.
Major sources of black carbon are known; magnitudes are uncertain but bounded.
For a continental picture, valuable emission inventories for metropolitan areas must be
combined with country-wide emission estimates.

Now we are ready to find the emission sources.

Major energy-related sources change with development & increased income
Because you have to eat and
stay warm…
Residential
Because you want jobs…
Industry Because you want to buy things & go
places!
Transport
clean, convenient fuels efficiency, air quality
development & increasing quality of life

General rule about BC+OC emitters (for energy-related sources)
Emitter size
For large emitters, poor efficiency = greater financial losses improved technology or controls are more affordable
More fuel consumed
Greater efficiency
Reporting requirements more stringent
More information
More emissions per fuel
High emissions
from small
sources with little
information
