Abstract:Abstract. Organosulfur compounds (OrgSs), especially organosulfates, have been widely reported at large quantities in particulate organic matter found in various atmospheric environments. Despite various kinds of organosulfates and their formation mechanisms being previously identified, a large fraction of OrgSs remain unexplained at the molecular level, impeding further knowledge on additional formation pathways and critical environmental parameters that help to explain their concentrations. In this work, the… Show more
“…[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] For instance, organosulfur compounds found in cleaner cities like Mainz, Germany are mainly derived from biogenic organic compounds, whereas those in polluted atmospheres in China are attributed also to anthropogenic organic precursors. [16][17][18][19][20] These studies convey that organosulfur compounds contribute to an important fraction in aerosols worldwide, particularly in where photochemical activities are strong. 5,17,21,22 Among all organosulfur species (including organosulfates (OS), sulfoxides, sulfonates, and sulfones), OS with sulfate ester functional group (R-O-SO 3 -) are quantified as the most abundant classes.…”
Organosulfates (OS) are regarded as stable tracers for secondary organic aerosols. However, recent studies have reported their potential chemical instability, dependent on their structures. In this study, we aim to...

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
