Black Carbon Contributing to Receding Snowline

A recent study by the Wadia Institute of Himalayan Geology has found that black carbon travelling from Mediterranean countries during the western disturbance (which brings winter rains to India) may be one of the contributing factors leading to the receding snowline in the Himalayas. Black carbon is formed through the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels, biofuel, etc., and has an adverse effect on human health. The study recorded data for 12 months from January to December 2016 at Gangotri Glacier Valley in Chirbasa at an altitude of 3,600 m above sea level. The study found that the concentration of black carbon in the area during the months of January and February was in fact fourth and fifth highest, respectively in the chronology of all the 12 months recorded.
