Integrated assessment of black carbon and tropospheric ozone: summary for decision makers [1]

Scientific evidence and new analyses demonstrate that control of black carbon particles and tropospheric ozone through rapid implementation of proven emission reduction measures would have immediate and multiple benefits for human well-being. Black carbon exists as particles in the atmosphere and is a major component of soot; it has significant human health and climate impacts. At ground level, ozone is an air pollutant harmful to human health and ecosystems, and throughout the troposphere, or lower atmosphere, is also a significant greenhouse gas. Ozone is not directly emitted, but is produced from emissions of
precursors of which methane and carbon monoxide are of particular interest here.
