Stable carbon and nitrogen isotopic compositions of tropical atmospheric aerosols: sources and contribution from burning of C3 and C4 plants to organic aerosols
In this paper, we report for the first time the δ13C and δ15N data for PM2.5 and PM10 aerosols collected in Tanzania during May–August 2011 together with total carbon (TC) and nitrogen (TN) contents. Mean TC concentrations were 6.5±2.1 µg m−3 in PM2.5 and 9.2±3.5 µg m−3 in PM10. δ13C of TC ranged fr...
