Short summary

We present measurements from a field study conducted in an agriculturally intensive region in the southeastern US during the fall of 2016 to investigate how NH₃ affects particle acidity and SOA formation via gas–particle partitioning of semi-volatile organic acids. For this study, higher NH₃ concentrations relative to what has been measured in the region in previous studies had minor effects on PM₁ organic acids and their influence on the overall organic aerosol and PM₁ mass concentrations.
