The irradiation under simulated sunlight of some phenolic compounds typically emitted in ambient air by biomass burning, namely vanillin and acetosyringone, yielded intermediates with humic-like fluorescence properties that can be assimilated to humic-like substances (HULIS). Evidence was obtained by ultra-high-resolution mass spectrometry of the occurrence of oligomerization processes up to the formation of trimeric species. In contrast, the irradiation of other biomass-burning compounds such as vanillic acid, m-cresol and guaiacol did not yield either HULIS-type fluorescence or oligomers. We suggest that the photolysis of biomass-burning compounds is a potential HULIS source in the atmosphere, if the relevant substrates undergo photoinduced oligomerization reactions.
