Country by country emission inventories for carbonaceous aerosol for the
period 1860 to 1997 have been constructed on the basis of historic fuel
production, use and trade data sets published by the United Nation's
Statistical Division UNSTAT (1997), Etemad et al. (1991) and Mitchell (1992,
1993, 1995). The inventories use emission factors variable over time, which
have been determined according to changes in technological development.
<br><br>
The results indicate that the industrialisation period since 1860 was
accompanied by a steady increase in black carbon (BC) and primary organic
carbon (POC) emissions up to 1910. The calculations show a moderate decrease
of carbonaceous aerosol emissions between 1920 and 1930, followed by an
increase up to 1990, the year when emissions began to decrease again.
<br><br>
Changes in BC and POC emissions prior to the year 1950 are essentially
driven by the USA, Germany and the UK. The USSR, China and India become
substantial contributors to carbonaceous aerosol emissions after 1950.
<br><br>
Emission maps have been generated with a 1°×1° resolution based on
the relative population density in each country. They will provide a helpful
tool for assessing the effect of carbonaceous aerosol emissions on observed
climate changes of the past.
