Short summary
Brown carbon (BrC) aerosols absorb solar shortwave radiation and affect the environment and climate. Using a chemical transport model, we investigated the sources and long-term trends of primary BrC in China. Residential and industrial emissions dominate primary BrC in China, unlike the global pattern. Anthropogenic BrC accounts for most of the direct radiative effects and responds significantly to emission changes, indicating potential climate benefits of emission control measures.
