Short summary
This study presents the characteristics and potential origins of nitroaromatics (NACs) in winter PM2.5 across 11 Chinese cities, along with key factors controlling their formation. We propose that relative humidity- or aerosol liquid water-promoted NAC formation from lab studies may not be universally interpretable in real atmospheres, where multi-factor interactions are critical. This work highlights the need to consider complex field conditions in future research on NAC formation mechanisms.
