Black carbon is a dark and sooty component of particulate matter (PM) formed by the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels and biomass. It is mostly emitted by vehicles, non-road machinery such as forestry equipment, ships, and household stoves burning coal or wood. Open biomass burning, including forest fires and agricultural waste incineration, is another significant source of black carbon. Black carbon, classified as a short-lived climate pollutant, has negative effects that are fast-acting and extensive such as melting of ice & glaciers, health risks to humans, reduced food security, and disruption of weather patterns. Black carbon analyzer is a device that measures the concentration of black carbon in real-time. It is a scientific instrument specifically designed to assess the concentration of black carbon (BC) in the surrounding air. This analyzer operates by continuously monitoring the transmission of light through filter media, where various particulate matter, including black carbon, accumulates. It then calculates the black carbon levels at 10 different wavelengths, spanning from the near-ultraviolet (UV) to the near-infrared (IR) spectrum.

This helps to measure, monitor, and control black carbon emissions effectively. It leverages advanced technology & expertise and ensures precise measurement & continuous tracking of black carbon levels. The black carbon analyzer helps monitor and understand these effects. Thus, it is widely used in several application including:

• Environmental Monitoring & Climate Research

• Air Quality Surveillance

• Global Warming Studies

• Particulate Emissions Studies

• Near-Roadside Monitoring

• Visibility Studies

• Source Apportionment Determination

• Angstrom Absorption Exponent Determination
