	<abstract content_type="html">The volatilities of different chemical species in ambient aerosols are
important but remain poorly characterized. The coupling of a recently
developed rapid temperature-stepping thermodenuder (TD, operated in the
range 54–230&amp;deg;C) with a High-Resolution Time-of-Flight Aerosol Mass
Spectrometer (HR-ToF-AMS) during field studies in two polluted megacities
has enabled the first direct characterization of chemically-resolved urban
particle volatility. Measurements in Riverside, CA and Mexico City are
generally consistent and show ambient nitrate as having the highest
volatility of any AMS aerosol species while sulfate showed the lowest
volatility. Total organic aerosol (OA) showed volatility intermediate
between nitrate and sulfate, with an evaporation rate of 0.6% K&lt;sup&gt;&amp;minus;1&lt;/sup&gt;
near ambient temperature, although OA dominates the residual
species at the highest temperatures. Different types of OA were
characterized with marker ions, diurnal cycles, and positive matrix
factorization (PMF) and show significant differences in volatility. Reduced
hydrocarbon-like OA (HOA, a surrogate for primary OA, POA), oxygenated OA
(OOA, a surrogate for secondary OA, SOA), and biomass-burning OA (BBOA)
separated with PMF were all determined to be semi-volatile. The most aged
OOA-1 and its dominant ion, CO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;sup&gt;+&lt;/sup&gt;, consistently exhibited the
lowest volatility, with HOA, BBOA, and associated ions for each among the
highest. The similar or higher volatility of HOA/POA compared to OOA/SOA
contradicts the current representations of OA volatility in most atmospheric
models and has important implications for aerosol growth and lifetime. Our
results strongly imply that all OA types should be considered semivolatile
in models. The study in Riverside identified organosulfur species (e.g. CH&lt;sub&gt;3&lt;/sub&gt;HSO&lt;sub&gt;3&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;sup&gt;+&lt;/sup&gt;
ion, likely from methanesulfonic acid), while both
studies identified ions indicative of amines (e.g. C&lt;sub&gt;5&lt;/sub&gt;H&lt;sub&gt;12&lt;/sub&gt;N&lt;sup&gt;+&lt;/sup&gt;)
with very different volatility behaviors than inorganic-dominated ions. The
oxygen-to-carbon ratio of OA in each ambient study was shown to increase
both with TD temperature and from morning to afternoon, while the
hydrogen-to-carbon ratio showed the opposite trend.</abstract>
