Sources of humic-like substances in the Pearl River Delta, China: positive matrix factorization analysis of PM<sup>2.5</sup> major components and source markers

Humic-like substances (HULIS), the hydrophobic part of water-soluble organic carbon (WSOC), account for a significant fraction of PM<sup>2.5</sup> mass. Their source studies are so far largely qualitative. In this study, HULIS and WSOC were determined in 100 PM<sup>2.5</sup>...
