Optical emission inventory of carbonaceous aerosol from the residential sector in China

The datasets including emission factor dataset named “Absorption Emission Factor”, and province-level datasets of optical emissions at 370 nm (UV) and 880 nm (IR) spanning 1960 to 2019, covering 31 provinces in China, excluding Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan which are named “Optical Emission_UV Region_1960-2019” and “Optical Emission_IR Region_1960-2019”, respectively. Besides the total emission, those for different fuels, such as anthracite, bituminous coal, crop residues, woody fuel, and biomass pellets, are also estimated and available in the datasets.
