Organic tracers are useful for investigating the sources of carbonaceous aerosols but there are still no adequate studies in China. To obtain insights into the diurnal variations, properties, and the influence of regional emission controls on carbonaceous aerosols in Beijing, day-/nighttime PM2.5samples were collected before (Oct. 15th – Nov. 2nd) and during (Nov. 3rd – Nov. 12th) the 2014 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit. Eleven organic compound classes were analysed using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). In addition, the stable carbon isotope ratios (δ13CTC) of total carbon (TC) were detected using an elemental analyser/isotope ratio mass spectrometry (EA/irMS). Most of the organic compounds were more abundant during the night than in the daytime, and their concentrations generally decreased during the APEC. These features were associated with the strict regional emission controls and meteorological conditions. The day/night variations of δ13CTCwere smaller during the APEC than those before the APEC the summit, suggesting that regionally transported aerosols are potentially played an important role in the loading of organic aerosols in Beijing before the APEC summit. The source apportionment based on the organic tracers suggested that biomass burning, plastic and microbial emissions, and fossil fuel combustion were important sources of organic aerosols in Beijing. Furthermore, a similar contribution of biomass burning to OC before and during the APEC suggests biomass burning was a persistent contributor to PM2.5in Beijing and its surroundings.
