• Food, water, and energy security in South Asia: A nexus perspective from the Hindu Kush Himalayan region☆ (2014, background): “In traditional burning practices, incomplete combustion of biomass contributes to emissions of atmospheric black carbon aerosol particles that absorb solar radiation and release the energy as heat, contributing to atmospheric warming (Venkataraman et al., 2005).”
• Dissolved black carbon in aquatic ecosystems (2018, background): “As with soil and dissolved forms of BC, aerosol BC represents a continuum of pyrogenic molecules, whose composition is largely dependent upon combustion efficiency, fuel type, and aging within the atmosphere (Bond et al. 2004; Venkataraman et al. 2005; Bao et al. 2017).”
• Bioenergy and sustainable development (2007, background): “The total annual emissions (through peat oxidation as well as fires) from Southeast Asian peatlands are estimated to be about 2 billion tons of carbon dioxide, which is about 8% of the global carbon dioxide emissions from fossil-fuel burning (116).”
• Woodsmoke Health Effects: A Review (2007, background): “The “black carbon” from biomass emissions is now thought to contribute to regional and global climate change as well as adverse health effects in some parts of the world (Venkataraman et al., 2005; Koch & Hansen, 2005).”
• Greenhouse gas mitigation in agriculture (2008, background): “Smoke contains a range of aerosols which can have either warming or cooling effects on the atmosphere, though the net effect is thought to be positive radiant forcing (Andreae 2001; Andreae & Merlet 2001; Menon et al. 2002; Anderson et al. 2003; Jones et al. 2003; Andreae et al. 2005; Venkataraman e”
• Cryptic destruction of India's native forests (2010, background): “Such emissions likely contribute substantially to global warming (Venkataraman et al. 2005).”
• Fuelwood, forests and community management – evidence from household studies (2008, background): “In a recent study by Venkataraman et al. (2005), it is found that the combustion of solid biofuels is the largest source of soot in India and that this soot not only has serious health implications, it also has an atmospheric radiation balance about 10 times the effect of greenhouse gases.”
• Wintertime aerosol properties during foggy and nonfoggy days over urban center Delhi and their implications for shortwave radiative forcing (2006, background): “Total BC emissions from India including all sources such as fossil fuel, open burning and biofuel combustion is around 610 ± 200 Gg yr � 1 [ Venkataraman et al., 2005 ].”
