<abstract>
<p>An integrated online analyzer was developed for in situ, synchronous quantification of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in gaseous and particulate phases. Gaseous ROS (ROS&lt;sub&gt;g&lt;/sub&gt;) are absorbed by a glass spiral absorption tube, whereas particulate ROS (ROS&lt;sub&gt;p&lt;/sub&gt;) are collected at ambient temperature using a rotating wet annular denuder (WAD) for gas removal followed by a spray growth collection chamber. The collected solutions are analyzed using a fluorescence probe method, and the resulting fluorescent signal is recorded using a compact LED-PMT module (470/520 nm) and LabVIEW-based acquisition. The system achieved high stability (RSD 0.37 % over 10 h), fast tracking (7 min response), good repeatability (RSD 0.57 %, n = 10), and robust linearity (y &amp;asymp; 0.1x, R&lt;sup&gt;2 &lt;/sup&gt;= 0.99) with detection limits of 0.07 ppbv (ROS&lt;sub&gt;g&lt;/sub&gt;) and 0.006 &amp;micro;g m&lt;sup&gt;-3&lt;/sup&gt; (ROS&lt;sub&gt;p&lt;/sub&gt;) expressed as H&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;O&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; equivalents. Field deployment in Beijing across four seasons revealed pronounced seasonal, diurnal, and pollution-regime dependence. ROS&lt;sub&gt;g&lt;/sub&gt; and ROS&lt;sub&gt;p&lt;/sub&gt; were highest in spring, while autumn exhibited the lowest levels despite severe PM&lt;sub&gt;2.5&lt;/sub&gt; pollution. During humid autumn haze, enhanced aerosol water and secondary inorganic accumulation coincided with only modest ROS&lt;sub&gt;g&lt;/sub&gt; growth and constrained ROS&lt;sub&gt;p&lt;/sub&gt;, indicating rapid multiphase turnover and efficient condensed-phase loss. In contrast, ozone-driven pollution in spring and summer strengthened photochemical production and gas-particle coupling, increasing ROS in both phases. Both ROS&lt;sub&gt;g&lt;/sub&gt; and ROS&lt;sub&gt;p &lt;/sub&gt;declined coherently during pollution clean-up, linking ROS variability to coupled changes in oxidation, partitioning, and removal.</p>
