| Abstract | Aromatic
amines (AAs) are organic compounds used in consumer products and
generated by everyday indoor activities, yet their indoor fate remains
poorly understood. We measured 44 aromatic amines (AAs) in air and dust
across six indoor environments with different activity profiles: a
smoking home, restaurant kitchen, hairdresser, smoking pub, shopping
mall entry adjacent to a parking lot (dust sampling only), and a
non-smoking home. Nicotine and tributylamine were additionally included
as source-indicative marker compounds to support the interpretation of
smoking and tire rubber–related influences. AAs were widely detected,
with concentrations strongly influenced by smoking, cooking, and
vehicle-related sources. Smoking environments showed the highest overall
levels, while parking-lot-adjacent spaces were enriched in tire-derived
amines such as 6PPD. Octanol-air partitioning (KOA)-based
equilibrium models described the general indoor partitioning trends of
AAs but showed poor quantitative agreement with measured gas–particle
and dust–air distributions, particularly in combustion-impacted
environments. The largest differences were found for basic and polar
amines, suggesting that indoor partitioning is strongly affected by
surface adsorption interactions and non-equilibrium processes that are
not captured by KOA-based models. Partitioning space
analysis indicates that most AAs are not gas-phase dominated indoors
but are strongly influenced by surface reservoirs, and suggests that
surface film and dust measurements should be given greater attention in
indoor characterizations of AAs and related compounds. |
