英文摘要	Brown carbon (BrC) plays an essential impact on radiative forcing due to its ability to absorb sunlight. In this study, the optical properties and molecular characteristics of water-soluble and methanol-soluble organic carbon (OC; MSOC) emitted from the simulated combustion of biomass and coal fuels and vehicle emissions were investigated using ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy, excitation-emission matrix (EEM) spectroscopy, and Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FTICR MS) coupled with electrospray ionization (ESI). The results showed that these smoke aerosol samples from biomass burning (BB) and coal combustion (CC) had a higher mass absorption efficiency at 365 nm (MAE365) than vehicle emission samples. A stronger MAE365 value was also found in MSOC than water-soluble organic carbon (WSOC), indicating low polar compounds would possess a higher light absorption capacity. Parallel factor (PARAFAC) analysis identified six types of fluorophores (P1-6) in WSOC including two humic-like substances (HULIS-1) (P1 and P6), three protein-like substances (PLOM) (P2, P3, and P5), and one undefined substance (P4). HULIS-1 was mainly from aging vehicle exhaust particles; P2 was only abundant in BB aerosols; P3 was ubiquitous in all tested aerosols; P4 was abundant in fossil burning aerosols; and P5 was more intense in fresh vehicle exhaust particles. The MSOC chromophores (six components; C1-6) exhibited consistent characteristics with WSOC, suggesting the method could be used to indicate the origins of chromophores. FT-ICR mass spectra showed that CHO and CHON were the most abundant components of WSOC, but S-containing compounds appeared in a higher abundance in CC aerosols and vehicle emissions than BB aerosols, while considerably fewer S-containing compounds largely with CHO and CHON were detected in MSOC. The unique formulas of different sources in the van Krevelen (VK) diagram presented different molecular distributions. To be specific, BB aerosols with largely CHO and CHON had a medium H/C and low O/C ratio, while CC aerosols and vehicle emissions largely with S-containing compounds had an opposite H/C and O/C ratio. Moreover, the light absorption capacity of WSOC and MSOC was positively associated with the unsaturation degree and molecular weight in the source aerosols. The above results are potentially ap-plicable to further studies on the EEM-based or molecularcharacteristic-based source apportionment of chromophores in atmospheric aerosols. © 2020 Author(s).
