abstract = {Despite recent evidence on an important role of volatile
amines in the nucleation of particulate matter, very scarce
information is available on their atmospheric abundance and
source distribution. Previous measurements in animal
housings had identified livestock husbandry as the main
amine source, with trimethylamine (TMA) being the key
component. This has led to the assumption that the
agricultural sources for amines are similar as for ammonia,
emitted throughout the cascade of animal excretion, storage
and application in the field. In this study, we present the
first micrometeorological flux measurements as well as
dynamic enclosure experiments showing that the amine source
strength from stored slurry is negligible, implying
significant consequences for the global amine emission
inventory. In the case of cattle, amine production is
attributed to the animal's rumination activity and
exhalation is suggested to be an important emission pathway,
similar to the greenhouse gas methane. Fodder like hay and
silage also emits volatile amines, potentially assigning
these alkaloid compounds a key function in enhancing
particle formation in remote areas. Citation: Kuhn, U., J.
