Characteristics and Sources of Organic Aerosol Markers in PM2.5 by Zheng Li, Ruiwen Zhou, Yuanyuan Li, Min Chen, Yachen Wang, Tonglin Huang, Yanan Yi, Zhanfang Hou, Jingjing Meng, Li Yan

“…Abstract To investigate the molecular compositions, sources, and evolution processes of organic aerosols (OAs), PM2.5 samples in wintertime were collected in Jinan, a typically polluted city in the North China Plain (NCP). The concentrations of PM2.5, carbonaceous species, and organic components (e.g., sugars, fatty acids, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and oxygenated-PAHs (OPAHs)) in haze episodes were 1.8–2.7 times higher than those in clean episodes. …”
