Black carbon soot alone, which occurs when combustion is incomplete, is responsible for 30 percent of that melt.

单凭燃烧不完全产生的炭黑，就吃掉了这其中的30%。

Third, pollution from trucks and smoke covers glaciers with carbon soot so that their surfaces become darker and less reflective - causing them to melt more quickly.

第三，汽车尾气污染和烟雾使冰川被碳烟灰所笼罩，从而使冰川颜色变得更深而缺乏反射性——因而导致冰川加速融化。
