Short summary
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by airborne particles are linked to adverse health effects, but the organic compounds responsible remain unclear. We developed a new molecular framework to classify complex organic compounds using advanced mass spectrometry. The framework shows that particles rich in oxidized organic compounds produce more ROS per unit mass, while polluted urban air produces more total ROS mainly because of higher particle concentrations.
