abstract = "The Amazon forest, while one of the few regions on the globe where
pristine conditions may still prevail, has experienced rapid
changes due to increasing urbanization in the past decades.
Manaus, a Brazilian city of 2-million people in the central Amazon
basin, releases a pollution plume over the forest, potentially
affecting the production pathways of particulate matter (PM) in
the region. As part of GoAmazon2014/5, a high-resolution
time-of-flight aerosol mass spectrometer (HR-ToF-AMS) and a suite
of other gas and particle-phase instruments were deployed at the
T3 research site, 70 km downwind of Manaus, during the wet and dry
seasons. Through a combination of meteorology, emissions, and
chemistry, the T3 site was affected by a mixture of biogenic
emissions from the tropical rainforest, urban outflow from the
Manaus metropolitan area and biomass burning plumes. Results from
the T3 site are presented in the context of measurements at
T0a/T0t and T2, sites representing predominantly clean and
polluted conditions, respectively. The organic component
consistently represented on average 70-80% of the PM1 mass
concentration across sites and seasons, and constitutes the focus
of this work. Positive matrix factorization (PMF) analysis was
applied to the time series of organic mass spectra. The resulting
factors, which included the so-called IEPOX-SOA, MO-OOA, LO-OOA,
BBOA, Fac91 and HOA, provide information on the relative
contributions of different sources and pathways to organic PM
production. In addition, Fuzzy c-means clustering was applied to
the time series of pollution indicators, including concentrations
of NOy, total particle number, ozone and sulfate, in order to
better understand the convoluted influences of different processes
and airmass origin to each point in time. Through combination of
the PMF and Fuzzy c-means analyses, insights are drawn about the
relative composition of organic PM1 at varying degrees of
influence of biogenic and anthropogenic processes. Results suggest
that polluted conditions are associated with higher organic mass
concentrations, with certain pathways being favored to the
detriment of others. This analysis and results represent a step
toward the goal of improving the understanding of anthropogenic
influences on the production of PM1 in Amazonia.",
