  abstract = {{T}he oxidative potential ({OP}) of particulate matter ({PM}) is a major driver of {PM}-associated health effects. {I}n {I}ndia, the emission sources defining {PM}-{OP}, and their local/regional nature, are yet to be established. {H}ere, to address this gap we determine the geographical origin, sources of {PM}, and its {OP} at five {I}ndo-{G}angetic {P}lain sites inside and outside {D}elhi. {O}ur findings reveal that although uniformly high {PM} concentrations are recorded across the entire region, local emission sources and formation processes dominate {PM} pollution. {S}pecifically, ammonium chloride, and organic aerosols ({OA}) from traffic exhaust, residential heating, and oxidation of unsaturated vapors from fossil fuels are the dominant {PM} sources inside {D}elhi. {A}mmonium sulfate and nitrate, and secondary {OA} from biomass burning vapors, are produced outside {D}elhi. {N}evertheless, {PM}-{OP} is overwhelmingly driven by {OA} from incomplete combustion of biomass and fossil fuels, including traffic. {T}hese findings suggest that addressing local inefficient combustion processes can effectively mitigate {PM} health exposure in northern {I}ndia.},
