Dr. Courtney Roper discusses black carbon health risks in communities
SUMMARY: Black carbon emissions can cause health risks, including an increased risk for cancer and heart disease in communities. A study showed elevated levels of black carbon in Pascagoula and Gulfport, Mississippi. There are no specific regulations limiting the amount of black carbon in the air, which poses a major problem, especially in developing countries where industrial processes are ramping up. Additionally, it’s difficult to compare black carbon measurements across the world, making it challenging to assess the impact on other locations, especially in China where coal plants are opening every day. The study also raises concerns about the potential for increased climate change effects.
