Measurement report: Brown carbon aerosol in polluted urban air of the North China Plain – day–night differences in the chromophores and optical properties
Abstract 62 ± 8 %) than during the night (47 ± 26 %), which is in line with the difference in chromophoric polarity between daytime (more polar nitrated aromatics) and nighttime (more less-polar polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, PAHs). The high polarity and water solubility of BrC in the daytime suggests the enhanced contribution of secondary formation to BrC during the day. There was a decrease in the mass absorption efficiency of BrC from nighttime to daytime (2.88 ± 0.24 vs. 2.58 ± 0.14 for WS-BrC and 1.43 ± 0.83 vs. 1.02 ± 0.49 m2 g C- 1 for WIS-BrC, respectively). Large polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) with four- to six-ring PAHs and nitrophenols contributed to 76.7 % of the total light absorption between 300–420 nm at nighttime, while nitrocatechols and two- to three-ring oxygenated PAHs accounted for 52.6 % of the total light absorption during the day. The total mass concentrations of the identified chromophores showed larger day–night difference during the low-pollution period (day-to-night ratio of 4.3) than during the high-pollution period (day-to-night ratio of 1.8). The large day–night difference in BrC composition and absorption, therefore, should be considered when estimating the sources, atmospheric processes, and impacts of BrC.
