Abstract:Abstract. We report the first-time use of the Lagrangian particle
dispersion model (LPDM) FLEXPART to simulate isotope ratios of the biomass
burning tracer levoglucosan. Here, we combine the model results with
observed levoglucosan concentrations and δ13C to assess the
contribution of local vs. remote emissions from firewood domestic heating to the particulate matter sampled during the cold season at two measurements stations of the Environmental Agency of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. For the investigated … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
