Short summary
We quantified 3-hydroxy fatty acids (3-OH-FAs) in PM10 from urban Tianjin to assess airborne endotoxins, which showed clear seasonal and vertical variations. Mid-chain 3-OH-FAs were linked to microorganisms and regional secondary processes, while long-chain species were more associated with biomass burning and local secondary formation. These findings highlight distinct source pathways of 3-OH-FAs and provide insights into airborne endotoxins in urban environments.
