Black carbon as a major contributor to ambient PM2.5-related cause-specific outpatient risks: Implications for early warning and health benefits evaluation of air quality improvement
Black carbon is a major contributor to PM2.5-associated cause-specific outpatient risks, and prioritizing the control of key PM2.5 constituents (e.g., BC)—rather than total PM2.5 mass alone—may help mitigate acute multi-organ morbidity risks.
