Light Absorption and Excitation–Emission Fluorescence of Urban Organic Aerosol Components and Their Relationship to Chemical Structure
The
present study used a combination of solvent and solid-phase
extractions to fractionate organic compounds with different polarities
from total suspended particulates in Nagoya, Japan, and their optical
characteristics were obtained on the basis of their UV–visible
absorption spectra and excitation–emission matrices (EEMs).
The relationship between their optical characteristics and chemical
structures was investigated based on high-resolution aerosol mass
spectra (HR-AMS spectra), soft ionization mass spectra and Fourier
transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra. The major light-absorption organics
were less polar organic fractions, which tended to have higher mass
absorption efficiencies (MAEs) and lower wavelength dependent Ångström
exponents (Ã…) than the more polar organic fractions. Correlation
analyses indicate that organic compounds with O and N atoms may contribute
largely to the total light absorption and fluorescence of the organic
aerosol components. The extracts from the aerosol samples were further
characterized by a classification of the EEM profiles using a PARAFAC
model. Different fluorescence components in the aerosol organic EEMs
were associated with specific AMS ions and with different functional
groups from the FT-IR analysis. These results may be useful to determine
and further classify the chromophores in atmospheric organic aerosols
using EEM spectroscopy

Chemical Structural Characteristics of HULIS and Other Fractionated Organic Matter in Urban Aerosols: Results from Mass Spectral and FT-IR Analysis
The
chemical characteristics of complex organic matter in atmospheric
aerosols remain poorly understood. Water-insoluble organic matter
(WISOM) and water-soluble organic matter (WSOM) in the total suspended
particulates collected in the city of Nagoya in summer/early autumn
and winter were extracted using multiple solvents. Two fractions of
humic-like substances, showing neutral and acidic behavior (HULIS-n
and HULIS-a, respectively), and the remaining highly polar part (HP-WSOM)
were fractionated from WSOM using solid phase extraction. The chemical
structural characteristics and concentrations of the organic matter
were investigated using mass spectrometry and Fourier transform infrared
(FT-IR) spectroscopy. WISOM and HULIS-n had low O/C ratios (0.1 and
0.4, respectively) and accounted for a large fraction of the organics
in aerosols (70%). HULIS-a and HP-WSOM had higher O/C ratios (0.7
and 1.0, respectively), and their concentrations in summer and early
autumn were on average ∼2 times higher than those in winter.
The mass spectrum and FT-IR analyses suggest the following: (1) WISOM
were high-molecular-weight aliphatics (primarily C<sub>27</sub>–C<sub>32</sub>) with small proportions of −CH<sub>3</sub>, −OH,
and Cî—»O groups; (2) HULIS-n was abundant in aliphatic structures
and hydroxyl groups (primarily C<sub>9</sub>–C<sub>18</sub>) and by branched structures; (3) HULIS-a and HP-WSOM contained relatively
large amounts of low-molecular-weight carboxylic acids and alcohols
(primarily C<sub>4</sub>–C<sub>10</sub>); and (4) WISOM and
HULIS-n were relatively abundant in amines and organic nitrates
