Black carbon’s lifetime is on the order of days to a couple weeks, which is about 0.004% of the lifetime of other pollutants like CO 2 (which has a lifetime of 300 – 1000 years). This means that if we focus on limiting black carbon emissions, we will see very fast improvements in our atmosphere and health. March 26, 2014.
