Abstract：To investigate the molecular composition, diurnal variation, and influencing factors of biogenic secondary organic aerosols (BSOA) in PM2.5 from Mt. Tai during summer time, PM2.5 samples were collected during July and August of 2016. The samples were determined for molecular distributions of carbonaceous compounds, inorganic ions and the tracers of BSOA (isoprene, monoterpene and sesquiterpene derived SOA). The results showed that the mass concentrations of elemental carbon (EC) and levoglucosan were in lower level and did not exhibit significant diurnal variations, suggesting that the effect of anthropogenic pollution during the sampling period was minor. The concentrations of BSOA tracers were higher in daytime than those in nighttime, indicating that the daytime aerosols were more photochemically aged than those in night time due to the higher temperature and stronger solar radiation. Isoprene SOA tracers [(77.64±51.79)ng/m3] was the dominant species, followed by monoterpene [(33.68±21.29)ng/m3] and sesquiterpene [(6.97±3.28)ng/m3] SOA tracers. Based on tracer-yield method, the contribution rate (15.3%) of isoprene derived secondary organic carbon (SOC) to OC was the highest. The BSOA tracers presented significant negative correlations with relative humidity (RH) (R￡-0.45) and particle in-situ pH (pHis) (R￡-0.53), suggesting that higher RH can suppress the acid-catalyzed formation of BSOA because of the lower aerosol acidity due to dilution. The correlations of BSOA with temperature and anthropogenic pollutants (e.g., levoglucosan and EC) suggested that BSOA were largely derived from the local oxidation of biogenic VOCs rather than long-range transport.
