英文摘要	With the objective of better understanding the sources and dynamics of carbonaceous fractions of the aerosols present in the atmosphere of Montreal, we implemented here an online wet oxidation/isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS) method to simultaneously measure both water-soluble organic carbon (WSOC) content and the corresponding delta C-13 of aerosol samples collected at four monitoring stations over a 1-year period representing distinct types of environmental conditions (i.e., background, road traffic, industrial, and downtown). We coupled these data with the corresponding concentrations of other carbon fractions: total carbon (TC), elemental carbon plus organic carbon (EC + OC), and carbonates. Results show that TC (6.64 +/- 2.88 mu g m(-3)), EC + OC (4.98 +/- 2.23 mu g m(-3)), and carbonates (1.71 +/- 1.09 mu g m(-3)) were characterized by lower concentrations in winter and higher ones between spring and early autumn, with all fractions expectedly showing significantly lower concentrations for aerosols collected at the background station. We observed a seasonal dependence of the delta C-13(EC) (+) (OC) (-25.31 +/- 0.94 parts per thousand) with the EC + OC/total suspended particles (TSP) ratio: (i) an increase of the ratio during late spring, summer and early autumn associated to road traffic emissions characterized by a delta C-13 of similar to-25 parts per thousand and (ii) lower ratios during the winter months indicating the influence of two distinct emission sources, a first one with a delta C-13 similar to-27 parts per thousand, suggesting the local influence of combined biomass burning from residential heating and of fossil fuel combustion, and a second one with a delta C-13 similar to-21 parts per thousand, likely related to more regional emissions. WSOC (1.14 +/- 0.67 mu g m(-3)) presented a similar seasonal pattern for all monitoring stations, with low concentrations in winter, early spring and late autumn that rapidly increased until summer. Our results indicate that this seasonality is controlled by higher anthropogenic contributions from southern Canada and northeastern United States regions and probably from biogenic emissions during the warm months. Moreover, delta C-13(WSOC) (-25.08 +/- 1.47 parts per thousand) showed a C-13-depletion in summer, indicating higher fossil fuel and biogenic contributions, whereas the higher isotope compositions observed in winter may result from the photochemical aging of regional aerosols. Ultimately, we identified the influence of local industrial emissions late in 2013 as well as the impact of aerosol emissions associated to the Lac-Megantic rail disaster that occurred on July 6, similar to 200 km east of Montreal.
