چکیده
Light absorption coefficients of black carbon ( abs B ) were measured at several urban and industrial locations in Jordan during the summer of 2007 and the winter of 2008 using the photoacoustic instrument at a wavelength of 870 nm. Black carbon mass concentration (BC) was calculated using abs B . Black carbon levels at urban locations in the summer of 2007 were higher than those obtained at industrial centers. Zarqa had the highest value of BC in summer (29.24μg/m) and in winter (13.27μg/m). Ibbeen and Irbid city center had relatively high values of BC in winter: 11.75μg/m and 12.48μg/m, respectively.
