Summary

This perspective proposes that nano-black carbon — a tiny particle released from burned organic matter like charcoal and wood — acts as a super-stable carrier for pollutants as it moves from land into water bodies. Due to its high surface area and chemical reactivity, nano-black carbon may transport and concentrate contaminants more effectively than previously recognized. The authors call for more detailed research into its behavior in water and soil environments.

Abstract Nano-black carbon (BC) is one of the most active fractions in the pyrogenic carbonaceous matter continuum. The majority of recent studies mainly focus on the role of nano-BC in the global carbon cycle. However, based on literature and our recent studies, we suggest that nano-BC may also serve as a super suspending agent, carrier, and redox mediator for sorbates during its migration from terrestrial to water bodies due to its unique properties such as high colloidal stability, strong sorption capacity, and high surface reactivity. The full implications of nano-BC in water/soil environments are far more than we expected. Thus, we call for more detailed investigations on the activity and reactivity of nano-BC in water/soil environments.
