Evaluation of Tenax Gc Sorbent For IN SITU Formation of N-Nitrosodimethylamine

Abstract
The formation of N-nitrosodimethylamine (DMN) from dimethylamine (DMA) in the presence of ozone, NOx, NO, NO2 and humidity was evaluated for the sorbent, Tenax GC under conditions relevant to field sampling. Traces (2 and O3. However, the trace levels of DMN do not hamper the use of the Tenax GC cartridge sampler for ambient air sampling.
