Lowering the level of black particles in the atmosphere would benefit both human health and the climate. Measures aimed at accomplishing this could be particularly effective in countries where emission standards for diesel-fueled vehicles have not yet been introduced, and in countries, especially in Asia and Africa, where rural dwellings are heated by primitive stoves and food is prepared over open fires, causing large emissions of soot particles.
降低大气中黑色颗粒物的水平将会对气候和人类健康产生积极的影响。在尚未出台柴油车废气排放标准以及在亚洲和非洲等农户依靠原始炉具取暖和明火烹制食品导致烟尘颗粒物大量排放的国家，降低大气中黑色颗粒的相关措施可能取得特别的效果。
