A new study by Indian and international researchers mapped seven types of aerosols globally and their radiative effects.
The study found that South Asia is largely affected by dust-dominated mixtures (DDM), which produce the highest Aerosol Radiative Forcing.
Strongly absorbing (SA) aerosols contribute the most to atmospheric heating, disrupting regional weather patterns.
