Short summary

Amine permeation tubes were quantified via absorption of gaseous amines by dilute acid solutions. Calibrations of an amine mass spectrometer with these permeation tubes show that the mass spectrometer is very sensitive to amines. Measurements of ambient amines are presented from two recent field campaigns. The amine mass spectrometer instrumentation and sampling arrangements are extensively discussed.
