Sensuła, Barbara M.
The mass spectrometric analysis of the impact of sulfur dioxide and dust emission on carbon and oxygen stable isotopic compositions of glucose hydrolysed from α-cellulose samples extracted from Scots pine growing in the vicinity of “Huta Katowice” steelworks was the main aim of this study. The annual rings covered the time span from 1975 to 2012 AD. The relationships between climatic conditions, sulfur dioxide, and industrial dust emission and oxygen and carbon isotopic compositions were analyzed using correlation function methods. This study shows the first analysis of carbon and oxygen stable isotopes in glucose as the bio-indicators of CO₂, sulfur dioxide, and industrial dust emission. The anticoincidence trend of δ¹⁸O and δ¹³C and dust and sulfur dioxide confirms that the decreases of dust and sulfur dioxide industrial emission increase δ¹⁸O and δ¹³C values in glucose.
