Levoglucosan levels at background sites in Europe for assessing the impact of biomass combustion on the European aerosol background

Atmospheric levoglucosan has been determined as a proxy for “biomass smoke” in samples from six background stations on a west–east transect extending from the Atlantic (Azores) to the mid‐European background site KPZ (K‐Puszta, Hungary). Concentration levels of levoglucosan (biannual averages) in th... View More
