Demonstrates accurate measurement of sulfate oxygen isotope composition, highlighting its importance in source tracking.

Abstract

Accurate determination of sulfate oxygen isotope composition (δ18O-SO2- 4) was critical for constraining its sources and transformation pathways, yet the accuracy was often compromised by nitrate that commonly co-precipitates with...
