Keelung, being a harbor city, consistently witnesses the deposition of black, sticky substances on buildings. These black materials may stem from emissions related to transportation (e.g., cruise ships), industrial activities, construction sites, and more. Therefore, we conducted a literature review and designed experiments to explore potential reasons for the formation of these black substances.
