abstract = {The atmospheric organic aerosol composition is
characterized by a great diversity of functional groups and
chemical species, challenging simple classification schemes.
Traditional offline chemical methods identify chemical
classes based on the retention behaviour on chromatographic
columns and absorbing beds. Such an approach led to the
isolation of complex mixtures of compounds such as the
humic-like substances (HULIS). More recently, online aerosol
mass spectrometry (AMS) was employed to identify chemical
classes by extracting fragmentation patterns from
experimental data series using statistical methods (factor
analysis), providing simplified schemes for the
classification of oxygenated organic aerosols (OOAs) on the
basis of the distribution of oxygen-containing
functionalities. The analysis of numerous AMS data sets
suggested the occurrence of very oxidized OOAs which were
postulated to correspond to HULIS. However, only a few
efforts were made to test the correspondence of the AMS
classes of OOAs with the traditional classifications from
the offline methods. In this paper, we consider a case study
representative of polluted continental regional background
environments. We examine the AMS factors for OOAs identified
by positive matrix factorization (PMF) and compare them to
chemical classes of water-soluble organic carbon (WSOC)
analysed offline on a set of filters collected in parallel.
WSOC fractionation was performed by means of factor analysis
applied to proton nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)
spectroscopic data, and by applying an ion-exchange
chromatographic method for direct quantification of HULIS.
Results show that the very oxidized low-volatility OOAs from
AMS correlate with the NMR factor showing HULIS features and
also with true "chromatographic" HULIS. On the other hand,
UV/VIS-absorbing polyacids (or HULIS {sensu stricto})
isolated on ion-exchange beds were only a fraction of the
AMS and NMR organic carbon fractions showing functional
groups attributable to highly substituted carboxylic acids,
suggesting that unspeciated low-molecular weight organic
acids contribute to HULIS in the broad sense.},
