The finding could further complicate attempts to model climate change. The team showed that the effect of aerosols on the climate since industrialisation depends strongly on what the atmosphere was like before pollution, when aerosols were produced only from natural emissions. —Carslaw et al. —Professor Carslaw.

When airborne particles (green) form before PAHs adhere, both the pollutants and particles dissipate quickly, as shown in the top row. But when the particles form in the presence of pollutants, which is what likely happens in nature, the longer-lasting particles enable the long-range transport of the pollutants (bottom).

Scientists from the US, Norway, Russia, Germany, Italy and China are participating in a study examining the potential role of black carbon, or soot, on the rapidly changing Arctic climate. The Arctic climate is changing faster than some scientists expected. In addition to its impacts on snow and ice, black carbon is an air pollutant.
