Isotopic characterization of PM can play an important role in the individuation of primary and secondary sources and also in the determination of the natural/biogenic or anthropogenic/combustion contribution to the measured concentration

PM characterisation by carbon isotope

PM Characterization by Carbon IsotopeC. Grassi, V. Campigli, L. Dallai, S. Nottoli, L. Tognotti, M. GuidiCite abstract as Author(s) (2007), Title, European Aerosol Conference 2007, Salzburg, Abstract T15A011

In the background and suburban sites the δ13C sow a bigger variability than in the urban sites, and this could be well correlated with the constant emissions from traffic. In background sites variability is bigger and related to the changing in the contribution from natural, secondary and anthropogenic source emissions.

13C/12C can be satisfactory indicator of the origin of the atmospheric carbon

Aerosols are often a mixture and their apparent δ13C is dependent on the relative intensity of the contributing sources

Industrial combustion or vegetation fire

Marine source and natural continental sources

Carbon-isotope composition of aerosols can distinquish between diesel an fuel oil, and other sources

07/05 diesel contribution about 50%. But other identification is not possible through the sole use of stable carbon isotopes

The use of isotopes for understanding airborne pollution sources is encouraging
