The study found that hydrothermal vents in the ocean produce significant amounts of black carbon, and this type of fine particulate matter can be carried thousands of kilometres away, putting the environment and human health in jeopardy.<\/p>\n
This first conclusive evidence that hydrothermal vents are a source of dissolved black carbon in the deep ocean may help to enhance our knowledge about the role of oceans as carbon sinks and form strategies to mitigate the impacts of black carbon.<\/p>\n
The study, ‘Hydrothermal-derived black carbon as a source of recalcitrant dissolved organic carbon in the ocean<\/a>,’ is published in Science Advances.<\/em><\/p>\nWhat is black carbon, and why is it harmful to the environment?<\/h3>\n
