10 .1 Periods of intense biomass burning In order to select periods where biomass burning dominated the particulate and gas phase composition, daytime measurements were excluded, since contribution from traffic especially during morning rush hours is expected to influence the results. Measurements obtained only during nighttime (1:-: LT) were selected. For these nighttime measurements, background levels for acetonitrile were estimated based on the minimum acetonitrile, CO and CO concentrations. For the above clean periods the average value and standard deviation were estimated. The average acetonitrile value plus six times its standard deviation (=. ppb) was used as a limit. Periods with acetonitrile levels above this limit were characterized as biomass burning periods. Biomass burning periods with duration more than min were used for all the corresponding analyses in this work. Table S. Burning periods that met the criteria set for the Athens winter campaign.

Scatter plots of acetonitrile versus particulate and gas species (BC, CO, levoglucosan (AMS m/z ), benzene, toluene, xylenes, isoprene, MVK&MACR and monoterpenes) for the Athens winter campaign. Blue points indicate the overall measurement period. Black points indicate biomass burning periods. Overall R values show the correlation of the species with acetonitrile for the overall measurement period. BB R values show the correlation of the species with acetonitrile only for the biomass burning periods. 11

The model residuals were calculated as sums of (a) residuals, (b) the absolute value of residuals, (c) residuals relative to total VOCs, (d) absolute value of residuals relative to total VOCs, and (e) squared, uncertainty-weighted (scaled) residuals, Q(t)=E(t)/S(t), relative to expected values, Qexp(t). The model residuals were estimated using the PMF evaluation tool, PET, by Ulbrich et al. (9). The structure in the residuals were decreased significantly in the p = solution compared to the p =1 solution. Comparing the and factor solutions the residuals had a significant decrease from the p= to the p= solution. A smaller decrease was observed for the p= to p= solution and a minimal decrease from the p= to p= solution. A factor solution was selected. 1

For the f peak =1. solution all the acetone (m/z 9) is attributed to factor OVOC and all the acetic acid (m/z 1) is attributed to factor b-ovoc. (ii) Diurnal profiles (median values) of the factors for f peak values of., -1. and 1.. Diurnal profiles are similar to the presented factor solutions with the exception of the OVOC factor. This is mainly because of the contribution of acetone (m/z 9) that has been apportioned exclusively to this factor for an f peak of 1. compared to the other solutions. The diurnal profile of the f peak solution of 1. is similar to the acetone (m/z 9) diurnal profile. 1
