We conducted a source apportionment and investigated the atmospheric behavior of carbonaceous aerosols during hazy normal days using radiocarbon ((14)C) biomass burning/secondary organic aerosol (SOA) tracers winter in Guangzhou, China. Haze episodes were formed either abruptly by local emissions or through accumulation particles transported from other areas. The average contributions fossil carbon to elemental (EC), water-insoluble carbon, water-soluble 71 ± 10%, 40 6% 33 3%, respectively....
Samples of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) were collected during July 2009 to March 2010 at a regional background site in East China. The mass concentrations organic carbon (OC) and elemental (EC) characterized by the highest levels winter (December February) lowest abundances summer (June August). Conversely, levoglucosan higher than winter. observations associated anthropogenic air pollutions (predominantly fossil-fuel combustions) transport from center north China with northwest winds...
Abstract. Fine carbonaceous aerosols (CAs) is the key factor influencing currently filthy air in megacities China, yet few studies simultaneously focus on origins of different CAs species using specific and powerful source tracers. Here, we present a detailed apportionment for various fractions, including organic carbon (OC), water-soluble OC (WSOC), water-insoluble (WIOC), elemental (EC) secondary (SOC) largest cities North (Beijing, BJ) South China (Guangzhou, GZ), measurements radiocarbon...

Abstract Although particulate matter (PM)‐driven haze is a common phenomenon in many Chinese cities, studies on the sources of its key components, such as organic carbon (OC) and elemental (EC), are poorly constrained. In this study, PM with aerodynamic diameters less than 10 (PM ), 2.5 1 μm ) were collected at an urban site core city Pearl River Delta region summer 2013. The average , mass concentrations 109 ± 28.4, 57.7 15.0, 50.9 13.2 μg/m 3 respectively. A PM‐driven bloom‐decay process...
Abstract A large and sudden increase in radiocarbon ( 14 C) around AD 773 are documented coral skeletons from the South China Sea. The C increased by ~ 15‰ during winter remain elevated for more than 4 months, then dropped down within two forming a spike of 45‰ high late spring, followed smaller spikes. anomalies coincide with an historic comet collision Earth's atmosphere on 17 January 773. Comas known to have percent-levels nitrogen weight exposed cosmic radiation space. Hence they may be...

Abstract The food source of hadal endemic fauna provides an insight into the carbon cycle in trenches and a biological adaptation to impoverished harsh trench environment. Here, we present first Δ 14 C results amphipods from three Pacific define organic matter these remote ecosystems. Amphipod muscle tissues contain bomb signature (Δ 10 ± 2‰ 65 2‰), thereby revealing dietary preference for labile fresh derived surface water. Thus, deepest ocean has tight linkage with via chain. dating result...
Abstract. China experiences frequent and severe haze outbreaks from the beginning of winter. Carbonaceous aerosols are regarded as an essential factor in controlling formation evolution episodes. To elucidate carbon sources air pollution, source apportionment was conducted using radiocarbon (14C) unique molecular organic tracers. Daily 24 h PM2. 5 samples were collected continuously October 2013 to November 10 Chinese cities. The 14C results indicated that non-fossil-fuel (NF) emissions...
Abstract The Asia‐Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit took place in Beijing, China, 5–11 November 2014, during which numerous measures were performed to control the air pollution, and consequently, sky of Beijing was so clean that public called it “APEC blue.” concentrations before, during, after APEC are 14.4 ± 6.81 µg C/m 3 , 6.66 2.99 32.3 10.6 respectively, for organic carbon (OC), 2.27 1.17 0.76 0.52 4.99 1.74 elemental (EC). We quantify contributions fossil nonfossil sources OC...
