Respiratory health effects of carbon black: a survey of European carbon black workers.
A study population of 3086 employees was identified in 18 carbon black production plants in seven European countries. Respiratory health questionnaires, spirometry, and chest radiographs were used to estimate effects on health and personal monitoring procedures were employed to measure current exposure to inspirable and respirable dust along with sulphur and carbon monoxide. The low concentrati...

متن کاملArctic Climate Effects of Black Carbon
The Arctic is warming about twice as rapidly as the rest of Earth. Black carbon (BC) particles are an important short-lived pollutant that explain a significant fraction of the observed Arctic warming. Most Arctic BC comes from fuel-combustion not from open fires. Arctic climate is very sensitive to the surface warming that BC causes. BC appears to warm the Arctic more than any other agent exce...
