In the present time the mass concentration of Black carbon aerosol has increased results to fog in the winter season and causes atmospheric heating and contributes to global warming. So taking all this in consideration the variability of Black carbon (BC) mass concentration, biomass burning and fossil fuel emission is investigated over New Delhi with the help of the instrument Aethalometer (AE- 33) installed at India meteorological department (IMD) New Delhi. So far the continuous observation for the winter period have been collected and analyzed for four months (October to January). Mass concentration of black carbon aerosol in the New Delhi region was found to be increased in first three months (Oct, Nov, Dec 2017) and decrease in the January 2018. We got the extensively high value of BC concentration in the month of December i.e. 25 µg/m3 because of the lowering of temperature which leads to the lower boundary layer and Due to less dispersion of air mass and constant emission of pollutants from various sources. While the concentration of the biomass burning is seen increased in the month of October to November from 2.6 µg/m3 to 4.6 µg/m3.The monthly mean concentration of fossil fuel emission shows a highest value in the month of December to 21 µg/m3 and lowest value in October to 11 µg/m3.The mass concentration of black carbon, biomass burning and fossil fuel emission concentration was higher in early morning hours and late night hours, due the increase of heavy load vehicles in to the cities and lowering of atmospheric boundary layer. Along with this the meteorological parameters (rainfall, wind speed and direction) also taken in consideration as they are the major influencing factors. There is more research work to be done for the Black Carbon, Biomass burning sources estimation and an endeavor was being planned to explore more over New Delhi region
