Unveiling spatial variations in atmospheric CO₂ sources: a case study of metropolitan area of Naples, Italy.

ABSTRACT: In the lower atmosphere, CO₂ emissions impact human health and ecosystems, making data at this level essential for addressing carbon-cycle and public-health questions. The atmospheric concentration of CO₂ is crucial in urban areas due to its connection with air quality, pollution, and climate change, becoming a pivotal parameter for environmental management and public safety. In volcanic zones, geogenic CO₂ profoundly affects the environment, although hydrocarbon combustion is the primary driver of increased atmospheric CO₂ and global warming. Distinguishing geogenic from anthropogenic emissions is challenging, especially through air CO₂ concentration measurements alone. This study presents survey results on the stable isotope composit
