What is Black Carbon and Why is it Dangerous?

Black carbon is a form of particulate matter that is released through the incomplete combustion of fuels. It is the second largest man-made contributor to climate change and poses an incredible health risk to many women and children in the developing world. The World Health Organization has included black carbon in its list of major risk factors to human health, ranking it higher than unsafe water and outdoor air pollution. Environmentally, black carbon has been shown to exacerbate the impacts of climate change. In Asia, black carbon contributes greatly to glacial retreat in the Hindu-Kush Himalaya region. Receding glaciers and melting snowpack in this region severely threatens the food and water security for 1.3 billion people.
