Short summary

We provide a first estimate of the aerosol radiative effects from open, uncontrolled combustion of domestic waste. We find the direct and cloud-albedo indirect radiative effects are predominantly negative (cooling tendency) with regional forcings exceeding −0.4 W m⁻²; however, the magnitude of these effects depends on the assumed emitted aerosol size, mass, and optical properties.
