The isotopic composition of fossil invertebrates contains a wealth of information about the physical and chemical environments of the ancient past. The exploitation of this biogeochemical archive by paleontologists began about 50 years ago with the realization that the ratios of oxygen isotopes in the shells and skeletons of marine organisms offered the potential to accurately reconstruct paleoenvironmental conditions, particularly temperature (Urey, 1947; Urey et al., 1951). With the introduction of the oxygen isotope paleotemperature methodology (Epstein et al., 1951, 1953; Epstein and Lowenstam, 1953), the field of “isotope paleontology” was born (Wefer and Berger, 1991).

Abstract. A method for the determination of the stable carbon isotopic composition of atmospheric nitrophenols in the gas and particulate phases is presented. It has been proposed to use the combination of concentration and isotope ratio measurements of precursor and product to test the applicability of results of laboratory studies to the atmosphere. Nitrophenols are suspected to be secondary products formed specifically from the photooxidation of volatile organic compounds. XAD-4TM resin was used as an adsorbent on quartz filters to sample ambient phenols using conventional high volume air samplers at York University in Toronto, Canada. Filters were extracted in acetonitrile, with a HPLC (high-performance liquid chromatography) clean-up step and a solid phase extraction step prior to derivatization with BSTFA (bis(trimethylsilyl) trifluoroacetamide). Concentration measurements were done with gas chromatography–mass spectrometry and gas chromatography–isotope ratio mass spectrometry was used for isotope ratio analysis. The technique presented allows for atmospheric compound-specific isotopic composition measurements for five semi-volatile phenols with an estimated accuracy of 0.3–0.5‰ at atmospheric concentrations exceeding 0.1 ng m−3 while the detection limits for concentration measurements are in the pg m−3 range. Isotopic fractionation throughout the entire extraction procedure and analysis was proven to be below the precision of the isotope ratio measurements. The method was tested by conducting ambient measurements from September to December 2011.
