<strong>particulate matter (PM2.5)<\/strong> and a <strong>potent short-lived climate pollutant.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It is produced by the <strong>incomplete combustion of fossil fuels <\/strong>(especially diesel and marine heavy fuel oil), biofuels, and biomass.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It has a warming impact <strong>nearly 1,600 times stronger<\/strong> than carbon dioxide over a 20-year period.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Unlike CO\u2082, it <strong>does not remain long in the atmosphere<\/strong> (typically 4\u201312 days), but its immediate impact is intense, especially in polar regions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why is it Critical in the Arctic?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>When soot settles on snow and ice, it <strong>reduces albedo<\/strong> (reflectivity), causing greater absorption of solar radiation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This accelerates glacier melt and sea-ice retreat, reinforcing<strong> Arctic amplification<\/strong>.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It is the phenomenon where the <strong>Arctic region warms at a rate two to four times faster <\/strong>than the global average<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Melting Arctic ice disrupts global weather patterns, including <strong>jet streams and monsoon systems.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3
