Research on pollution characteristics and toxicities of emerging polycyclic aromatic sulfur heterocycles (PASHs) in PM_2.5 has not been reported due to the lack of analytical method with the needed performance. In the present study, a novel method for the determination of 14 PASHs in PM_2.5 was developed using atmospheric pressure gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (APGC-MS/MS). Atmospheric pressure chemical ionization was operated with multiple reaction monitoring in positive ionization mode. High sensitivity (method detection limit < 1.673 pg/m³), acceptable recoveries (67.6%–120.8%) and precisions (RSD of 2.2%–15.4%) were obtained. The method was successfully applied for analyzing PASHs in 10 PM_2.5 samples collected from Taiyuan, a typical industrial city in China, in 2016. The total concentrations were from 929 pg/m³ to 14,593 pg/m³. The determined levels indicated that further investigations on environmental fate and toxicities of PM_2.5-bound PASHs may be needed.
