Although, many biomass burning (BB) emissions products (particulate matter and trace gases) are believed to be trans-boundary pollutants that originates from India and China (the two most populous countries in Asia), the information about BB emission and related contents is limited for Indo-China Peninsula (ICP) region. This motivated us to review this region pertaining to BB emission. The main objective of the review is to document the current status of BB emission in ICP region. In order to highlight the impact of BB on regional air quality and global climate change, the role of BB emission in ICP region is also discussed. Based on the available literature and modeling simulations studies, it is evidenced that ICP is one of the hotspot regional source for aerosols in terms of BB emissions. In addition, regional emissions through BB have significant implications for regional air quality especially in the neighboring countries such as China, Taiwan and India. Our assessment highlight that there is still a general lack of reliable data and research studies addressing BB related issues in context of environmental and human health. There is therefore a critical need to improve the current knowledge base, which should build upon the research experience and further research into these issues is considered vital to help inform future policies/control strategies.
尽管许多生物质燃烧（BB）排放物（颗粒物和痕量气体）被认为是源自印度和中国（亚洲人口最多的两个国家）的跨境污染物，但关于印度支那半岛（ICP）地区 BB 排放和相关内容的信息有限。这促使我们对该地区的 BB 排放进行审查。审查的主要目的是记录 ICP 地区 BB 排放的现状。为了强调 BB 对区域空气质量和全球气候变化的影响，还讨论了 BB 排放在 ICP 地区的作用。根据现有文献和模拟模拟研究，有证据表明，就 BB 排放而言，ICP 是气溶胶的热点区域源之一。此外，通过 BB 排放的区域排放对区域空气质量，特别是对中国、中国台湾和印度等邻国的空气质量有重大影响。我们的评估强调，在环境和人类健康方面，仍然普遍缺乏可靠的数据和研究来解决与 BB 相关的问题。因此，迫切需要改善当前的知识库，这应该建立在研究经验的基础上，并进一步研究这些问题被认为对帮助告知未来的政策/控制策略至关重要。
