Short summary
To trace the long-range transport of air pollutants and understand the atmospheric effect of iodine, the daily-resolution temporal variations of 129I and 127I in aerosols from a monsoonal city indicate the East Asian monsoon and fossil fuel combustion plays crucial roles on transport of 129I from Europe to East Asia and on elevated 127I concentrations. Through linking iodine isotopes with five major air pollutants, this study proposes the possible role of iodine in urban air pollution.
