dc.description.abstract	The short-lived climate pollutant black carbon is a troublemaker in the Arctic. Suspended in air, the black particles absorb energy and warm the atmosphere. Deposited on snow and ice, they can cause surface warming and melting. Inhaled by humans, black carbon poses a serious health risk. But the good news is, Arctic states are taking action.	en_US
