abstract = {We report source specific isotope ratios of levoglucosan,
the specific biomass burning tracer, in aerosol particle
from the combustion of selected woods used for domestic
heating in Europe, of coals containing cellulose (lignites)
as well as of corn, a C4 plant. Here, we combine compound
specific δ13C measurements of levoglucosan with total
carbon δ13C of parent materials, to assess isotopic
fractionations due to biosynthetic pathways or combustion
processes. Levoglucosan formed during the combustion of
cellulose from coals shows with δ13C of −21.1‰ and
−18.6‰ a moderate enrichment in the heavier isotope
compared to the C3 plant samples. Contrarily, observed
levoglucosan isotope ratios of −25.0 to −21.5‰ for C3
plant samples are significantly lower than for the C4 plant
sample (−12.4‰), as expected from the stronger 13C
discrimination during the carbon fixation process by C3
compared to C4 plants. Overall, the C4 plant sample shows a
13C enrichment in all bulk measurements, on average by
12.2‰, 14.2‰ and 14.2‰ for total carbon (TC) in
aerosol particle, whole plant/coal material and cellulose
samples, respectively. Further, δ13C measurements of
levoglucosan and TC of biomass burning aerosol particles,
bulk plant/coal and cellulose in C3 plant samples agree well
with the published observations. The combined
levoglucosan/TC isotopic analyses can be used to
differentiate among C3/coal/C4 origin of the smoke emissions
from the cellulose-containing-fuel combustion. Noticeably,
there is a consistent δ13C offset between C3 plant material
and levoglucosan, which allows deriving emission
levoglucosan isotope ratios when the combusted plant types
are known.},
