Abstract

Water-soluble organic matter accounted for an important part of the atmospheric fine particles and might have great potential impact on the formation of haze. Though many researches have been conducted in the last decades, our knowledge on the chemical composition of the water-soluble organics is still very limited. In this talk, the concentrations, seasonal variations and sources of the water-soluble organics in PM2.5 in Shanghai will be discussed, based on the results from multiple analytical methods including GC-MS analysis, radiocarbon analysis etc.
