  abstract = {{P}articulate matter is a component of ambient air pollution that has been linked to millions of annual premature deaths globally(1-3). {A}ssessments of the chronic and acute effects of particulate matter on human health tend to be based on mass concentration, with particle size and composition also thought to play a part(4). {O}xidative potential has been suggested to be one of the many possible drivers of the acute health effects of particulate matter, but the link remains uncertain(5-8). {S}tudies investigating the particulate-matter components that manifest an oxidative activity have yielded conflicting results(7). {I}n consequence, there is still much to be learned about the sources of particulate matter that may control the oxidative potential concentration(7). {H}ere we use field observations and air-quality modelling to quantify the major primary and secondary sources of particulate matter and of oxidative potential in {E}urope. {W}e find that secondary inorganic components, crustal material and secondary biogenic organic aerosols control the mass concentration of particulate matter. {B}y contrast, oxidative potential concentration is associated mostly with anthropogenic sources, in particular with fine-mode secondary organic aerosols largely from residential biomass burning and coarse-mode metals from vehicular non-exhaust emissions. {O}ur results suggest that mitigation strategies aimed at reducing the mass concentrations of particulate matter alone may not reduce the oxidative potential concentration. {I}f the oxidative potential can be linked to major health impacts, it may be more effective to control specific sources of particulate matter rather than overall particulate mass. {O}bservations and air-quality modelling reveal that the sources of particulate matter and oxidative potential in {E}urope are different, implying that reducing mass concentrations of particulate matter alone may not reduce oxidative potential.},
