Article Synopsis
- This study examined variations in equivalent black carbon (eBC) levels across urban Europe to assess its potential as a key air quality indicator, collecting data from various measurement stations from 2006 to 2022.
- The findings emphasized the necessity for standardization in eBC measurements for better comparisons, revealing a decreasing trend in eBC levels from traffic zones to suburban and regional areas, with Southern cities generally having higher concentrations than those in the North.
- Additionally, fossil fuel combustion, particularly from traffic, was identified as the primary source of eBC, and while there was an overall decreasing trend in eBC levels over the decade, some cities showed stable or slightly rising concentrations.
Unlabelled: Observed changes at the global scale. An increase of the annual mean global temperature and changes of other climate parameters have been observed in the last century. The global temperature and the atmospheric concentration of greenhouse gases are changing at a very fast pace compared to those found in palaeoclimate records.
