化石燃料等排放是大气CO₂浓度增加的主要原因，而城市是碳排放研究的热点区域。获取化石源CO₂（CO₂_ff）的时空变化特征，可以为政府的宏观决策及参与国际碳减排谈判提供重要的科学数据。近十年来我国科技人员在运用¹⁴C示踪城市大气CO₂_ff的研究方面取得了一些重要进展：通过大气、树轮和一年生植物样品¹⁴C的分析，获得了不同时间尺度和空间尺度CO₂_ff的变化特征，发现北方城市是减排的重点。CO₂_ff与PM_2.5关系的研究表明，控制大气污染物可以同时降低CO₂_ff排放，存在减排的协同效应。WRF-CHEM模式模拟分析了关中地区CO₂_ff的传输，并结合Δ¹⁴CO₂和δ¹³C对CO₂_ff的来源进行解析，发现西安CO₂_ff主要来源于本地燃煤的排放。¹⁴C示踪获得的CO₂_ff浓度与统计的碳排放量变化趋势和幅度基本一致，可以相互校验，保证数据的可靠性。为此建议尽快建立我国城市大气Δ¹⁴CO₂观测网，投入更多的人力物力推进这项研究，服务于国家碳减排任务。

The main cause of increase in atmospheric CO₂ concentration is the carbon emissions from fossil fuel combustions and so on. Cities are regarded as the hot spots of carbon emissions. On the basis of obtaining the levels and spatial-temporal variation characteristics of atmospheric fossil fuel CO₂ （CO₂_ff）， we can provide scientific data for government policy-making and international negotiations on carbon reductions. In the recent ten years， some important progresses have been achieved in the study of tracing urban atmospheric CO₂_ff using ¹⁴C by Chinese scientists. The variation characteristics of urban CO₂_ff at different temporal and spatial scales were obtained through the analysis of ¹⁴C in air， tree ring and annual plant samples. Our results show that the northern cities are the key points to reduce carbon emissions， and that the CO₂_ff emissions can be reduced simultaneously by controlling atmospheric pollutant emissions， indicating a synergistic emission reduction. It was found that CO₂_ff in Xi'an was mainly from local coal-burning emissions with the use of improved WRF-CHEM model and δ¹³C. Finally， the yearly CO₂_ff traced by tree-ring ¹⁴C in Xi'an showed similar trends and amplitudes with the statistical data of carbon emissions， which indicates that the ¹⁴C tracing method and statistical method can be mutually validated to ensure the reliability of the data. In order to promote the ¹⁴C trace study to serve the national carbon emission reduction task， we suggest that the urban atmospheric Δ¹⁴CO₂ observation network should be established as soon as possible， and that this study should be enhanced with more scientists involved in it and more financial resources to support it.
