Short-Lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) are one of the most important effective factors in climate change, which are present in the atmosphere for a much shorter period than carbon dioxide (CO₂). Since the atmospheric lifetime of these pollutants is not more than a few days to a few years, they are called SLCPs and according to previous studies, they cause 45% of global warming. The main SLCPs are black carbon (BC), methane (CH₄), tropospheric ozone (O₃), and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). Precursors of aerosols (i.e., SO₂, PM_2.5, and PM₁₀) and ozone precursors (i.e., NO, NO₂ and CO) are short-lived climate forcers (SLCF). Short-lived climate forcers (SLCF) are also known as SLCP. In addition to climate change, SLCPs also harm public health and ecosystems. Without rapid reduction of SLCPs, global warming may exceed the threshold defined in the Paris Agreement (1.5°C to 2°C by mid-century). (55%-60%) of CO₂ emissions are caused by human activities, so it is necessary to deal with it quickly and aggressively in order to fight the climate change process. But this is not enough, the reduction of CO₂ must be accompanied by a rapid and aggressive reduction of SLCPs. Therefore, slowing global warming in the short term by eliminating SLCPs is necessary to complete long-term CO₂ reduction. Finally, determining the Relationship between Short-Lived Climate Pollutants (SLCPs), these super pollutants, concentrations and temperature change and predicting its role in climate change in urban environments is one of the main world strategies.

This is Faezeh Borhani, a Ph.D. at "University of Tehran", one of the premier educational and research institutes in Iran. I am a hardworking, self-disciplined, and conscientious researcher/engineer with 8 years of experience in designing and deriving technical solutions in the civil and environmental engineering field. I have been interested in doing research in the areas of meteorology and atmospheric sciences. In the last past 4 years, I focused on short-lived climate pollutants.
