To investigate the seasonal variation and source of oxidative potential (OP) in atmospheric fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in Xi’an, the mass normalized OP (OPDTTm) was measured using the dithiothreitol (DTT) method, and the influence of chemical components of PM2.5 on OPDTTm was analyzed, and the contributions of different sources to OPDTTm was quantified using a positive matrix factorization coupled with an artificial neural network multilayer perceptron (PMF-ANN-MLP) model. The findings revealed that OPDTTm in Xi’an was highest during summer ((13.2 ± 5.4) pmol(min·µg)) and lowest in winter ((5.6 ± 2.7) pmol(min·µg)). Correlation analysis indicated that nitro-containing aromatic compounds and carboxylic acids have a significant impact on OPDTTm, and the difference in molecular abundance was the main reason for the seasonal variation of OPDTTm. Source apportionment showed that dust (26.7%), traffic (35.1%), secondary formation (23.2%), and biomass burning (24.5%) and coal combustion (25.8%) were the predominant contributors to OPDTTm during spring, summer, autumn, and winter, respectively. These results provide a scientific foundation for developing effective air pollution control measures aimed at safeguarding public health.
