Stable Isotopes in Aerosols
About
Our ongoing research focuses on innovative applications of stable carbon isotopes in atmospheric studies, aiming at constraining sources and processing of pollutants. For that, we use two setups to measure compound specific isotope ratios in gas- and particle phase samples, both combining two-dimensional gas-chromatography (2DGC) with isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS).
Research Topics
- isotopic experiments to determine the kinetic isotope effect (KIE) of atmospheric relevant reactions for aging studies;
- laboratory studies to scrutinize the mechanisms of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation and evolution;
- compound specific isotopic measurements of chemical tracers in source- and ambient field samples for pollution 'forensic' studies;
