The Effect of Fossil Fuel and Biogenic CO2 on the 13C and 14C Content of Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide
The normalization of a measured δ14C value of atmospheric CO2 to a δ13C value of − 25‰ does not take into account the presence of fossil fuel and biogenic CO2. In this paper, we try to assess these contaminations as well as the proper 14C content of “clean air”.
