Black carbon
Chemically, black carbon (BC) is a component of fine particulate matter (PM ≤ 2.5 μm in aerodynamic diameter). Black carbon consists of pure carbon in several linked forms. It is formed through the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels, biofuel, and biomass, and is one of the main types of particle in both anthropogenic and naturally occurring soot. Black carbon causes human morbidity and premature mortality. Because of these human health impacts, many countries have worked to reduce their emissions, making it an easy pollutant to abate in anthropogenic sources.
Science du système Terre
vignette|La biosphère comme un système unique des autres systèmes. L'écosphère, ou système du Vivant, est au centre. La science du système Terre, en anglais Earth system science, est une discipline scientifique intégrant diverses études académiques dans le but de comprendre la Terre, considérée comme un système et constituée de l'atmosphère, de l'hydrosphère, de la lithosphère et de la biosphère. Le nom de géophysiologie, proposée par James Lovelock, y est synonyme.
