Black Carbon

Open waste burning (OWB) is a source of short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) such as CH4, BC, and CO 2, as well as other primary air pollutants such as total suspended particulates (TSP), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrous oxide (NO x), and sulfur dioxide (SO 2). This study aims to estimate the total OWB emissions from OWB activity. This study used...

Open waste burning (OWB) is a prevalent waste management practice in many parts of Asia, contributing significantly to air pollution and undermining efforts towards climate mitigation. This paper examines the nexus of waste management, pollution control, and health while providing policy recommendations to address policy gaps and implementation...
