Knowledge of the relative abundance of primary organic aerosol (POA) and secondary organic aerosol (SOA) forms an important scientific basis for formulating particulate matter (PM) control policies. Taking advantage of a comprehensive chemical composition data set of PM2.5 including both POA and SOA tracers (most notably, SOA tracers of a few biogenic voltaic organic compound precursors), we investigate the impact of inclusion of SOA tracers on the source apportionment of organic carbon (OC) and PM2.5 in the Pearl River Delta region of China using positive matrix factorization (PMF). In PMF runs incorporating SOA tracers (PMFw), ten PMF factors were resolved including four secondary factors: (1) SOA I (α-pinene, β-caryophyllene, and naphthalene-derived SOA), (2) SOA II (isoprene-derived SOA), (3) a secondary sulfate factor, and (4) a secondary nitrate factor. In PMF tests without SOA tracers (PMFwo), the SOA I and SOA II factors could not be extracted, but the remaining eight source factors were resolved....
