How Asian slum emissions impact local microclimates in polluted air masses
Atmospheric Science Letters, Volume 23, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022 Cook stove emissions over urban sprawl in South India and expected microphysical implications. Combustion‐mediated soot and black carbon from biomass burning in shantytowns modulate the local cloud cover. Abstract Urban sprawl comprising densely populated slums over South Asian cities yields copious amounts of soot and black carbon from archaic cooking
