Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Details on results:
- the major amines in both air and rain were trimethylamine and methylamine, but dimethylamine, diethylamine and triethylamine were also detected and individually quantified \
- The total amine concentration was 0.16-2.8 nmol/m³ in air and 30-540 nM in rain

- trimethylamine in ambient air:
lowest measured value: 46 +-30 pmol/m3
highest measured value: 1600 pmol/m3

- trimethylamine in rainwater: lowest measured value: <30 nM
highest measured value: 220 nM

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

Amine concentrations in ambient air and rainwater were measured at several sites in southern Sweden.

The major amines in both air and rain were trimethylamine and methylamine, but dimethylamine, diethylamine and triethylamine were also detected and individually quantified.

The total amine concentration was 0.16-2.8 nmol/m³ in air and 30-540 nM in rain.

Trimethylamine in ambient air: lowest measured value: 46 +-30 pmol/m³ highest measured value: 1600 pmol/m³.

Trimethylamine in rainwater: lowest measured value: < 30nM, highest measured value: 220 nM.
