Black carbon particles (soot) are formed as a result of incomplete combustion processes and are ubiquitous in the atmosphere. The lower troposphere contains plenty of soot particles whose principal sources are fossil fuel and biomass combustion at the ground level.
The heterogeneous reaction of CO and O on the surface of aerosols has been proposed as an important chemical process which may contribute to the CO&sub2; stability in the Martian atmosphere.
