Journal ArticleDOI
Sources of humic-like substances in the Pearl River Delta, China: positive matrix factorization analysis of PM 2.5 major components and source markers
TL;DR: In this article, Humic-like substances (HULIS), the hydrophobic part of water-soluble organic carbon (WSOC), account for a significant fraction of PM2.5 mass, while residual oil combustion related to shipping was identified as a significant source of HULIS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reactive Oxygen Species Production Mediated by Humic-like Substances in Atmospheric Aerosols: Enhancement Effects by Pyridine, Imidazole, and Their Derivatives
TL;DR: The ability of atmospheric PM organics to catalyze generation of ROS in cells could be affected by coexisting redox inactive organic constituents and suggests further work deploying multiple assays be conducted to quantify redox capabilities and enhancement effects of the HULIS components.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optical properties, source apportionment and redox activity of humic-like substances (HULIS) in airborne fine particulates in Hong Kong.
TL;DR: Humic-like substances (HULIS) account for a considerable fraction of water-soluble organic matter (WSOM) in ambient fine particulates (PM2.5) over the world, and they all showed higher levels on days under regional pollution than onDays under long range transport (LRT) pollution and local emissions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aromatic formulas in ambient PM2.5 samples from Hong Kong determined using FT-ICR ultrahigh-resolution mass spectrometry.
TL;DR: The determination of aromatic organic formulas in this study provides useful guidance for future quantitative analysis of hazardous aromatic compounds, and confirms the atmospheric presence of some previously reported O- and N-containing aromatic compounds and revealing new possible formulas.
