Short summary
This study represents the inaugural instance of simultaneous comprehensive characterization of organosulfates and nitrogen-containing organic compounds (detected in both electrospray ionization positive (ESI+) and negative (ESI−) modes) in PM2.5 in tropical marine areas with minimal anthropogenic pollution. The overall results provide the observation-based molecular evidence that marine emissions may play a significant role in the formation of aromatic and aliphatic organic sulfur and nitrogen aerosols in the South China Sea.
