Stable carbon isotopic compositions of low-molecular-weight dicarboxylic acids, glyoxylic acid and glyoxal in tropical aerosols: implications for photochemical processes of organic aerosols

Tropical aerosols of PM2.5 and PM10 were collected at a rural site in Morogoro, Tanzania (East Africa), and analysed for stable carbon isotopic composition (δ13C) of dicarboxylic acids (C2–C9), glyoxylic acid (ωC2) and glyoxal (Gly) using gas chromatography/isotope ratio mass spectrometer. PM2.5 sam...
