Black carbon (BC) is a primary carbonaceous aerosol playing an important role on public health and the Earth’s climate system (Bond et al., 2013). It is the most efficient light-absorbing aerosol species in the visible spectrum. The wavelength dependence of light absorption has been widely used to investigate the influence of fossil fuel (traffic emissions) and biomass burning (Sandradewi et al., 2008; Vaishya et al., 2017). There are relatively scarce studies reported in Eastern Central Europe using real-time EBC measurements. This work focuses on a 5-year measurement of equivalent BC (EBC) at a regional background site in Central Europe. The aim of this study is to identify the potential sources of EBC, especially fossil fuel (ff) and biomass burning (bb).
