Abstract
8
To the best of our knowledge, this study represents the first observation of multi-day persistence
9
of an indoor aerosol transformation linked to a kitchen degreaser containing mono-ethanol amine
10
(MEA). MEA remaining on the cleaned surfaces and on a wiping paper towel in a trash can was
11
able to transform ammonium sulfate and ammonium nitrate into (MEA)2SO4 and (MEA)NO3. This
12
influence persisted for at least 60 hours despite a high average ventilation rate. The influence was
13
observed using both offline (filters, impactors, and ion chromatography analysis) and online
14
(compact time-of-flight aerosol mass spectrometer) techniques. Substitution of ammonia in
15
ammonium salts was observed not only in aerosol but also in particles deposited on a filter before
16
the release of MEA. The similar influence of other amines is expected based on literature data.
17
This influence represents a new pathway for MEA exposure of people in an indoor environment.
18
The stabilizing effect on indoor nitrate also causes higher indoor exposure to fine nitrates.

Introduction
23
Indoor aerosol studies are important because people spend approximately 80% of their lives
24
indoors, and aerosols can have negative health effects, as observed in many studies1. Indoor
25
aerosols can originate as outdoor aerosol transported through windows and wall leaks2. In the
26
absence of indoor aerosol sources, the levels of indoor aerosol are always lower than outdoor
27
aerosol levels, and the difference depends on the natural air exchange rate in the absence of
28
filtration devices. The size dependence of the indoor/outdoor ratio resulting from different particle
29
removal processes is well known.
30
However, when indoor sources, such as smoking, cooking, open fire heating or cleaning, are
31
present, these sources can easily dominate indoor aerosol concentrations and affect the overall
32
aerosol chemical composition. Even humans act as aerosol source that adds particles to the overall
33
indoor aerosol content.
34
The chemical transformation of particles transported from outside to the indoor environment is
35
well known and frequently observed for the case of ammonium nitrates3–5. However, little is
36
known about transformations of indoor aerosols under the influence of the broad collection of
37
chemicals we use to keep our homes clean and at the desired level of sterility.

38
One family of substances often found in the domestic environment is aminium salts, which are
39
used in different surface active detergents. By examining manufacturer data and chemically
40
analyzing this cleaner, we found that not only aminium salts are used in the water solution of
41
degreasing solutes but also free amines such as mono-ethanol amine (MEA).
42
The role of amines and aminium salts in ambient atmospheric aerosols has been recognized
43
relatively recently6, leading to a growing number of papers dealing with this subject. The influence
44
of amines on ambient atmospheric nucleation has been studied both theoretically7 and
45
experimentally8,9. Amines have been found in the ultrafine fraction of ambient aerosol, and there
46
are only a few papers dealing with their possible effects. Recently, aminium salts were suggested
47
to be at least partially responsible for new particle formation events10, and their ability to thermally
48
stabilize nitrates was studied by Salo et al. (2011)11. The growing interest in aminium salts in
49
atmospheric aerosol has also led to studies of their relevant properties12–14 and their chemical
50
reactions with atmospherically relevant compounds9,15–19. Very recently Chu and Chan (2017)20
51
studied uptake of dimethyl amine by ammonium sulphates and its mixture with sucrose. The
52
toxicology of amines was reviewed by Knaak et al. (1997)21; more recently, the toxicology of
53
MEA was studied by Kamijo et al. (2007)22.
54
Two papers have also described the influence of sulfuric acid emissions on MEA aerosol during
55
the CO2 capture process23,24, suggesting the formation of MEA sulfate in the aerosol phase.
56
In this study, and we believe for the first time in the context of a common indoor environment, we
57
describe the ability of mono-ethanol amine, a constituent of a commercial degreaser solution for
58
cleaning kitchens, to replace ammonium in inorganic salts in the indoor environment. In this case,
59
ammonium is replaced mainly in its sulfate and nitrate salts in the inorganic aerosol that usually
60
forms up to half of PM2.5 aerosol mass in indoor environments. Both complete and partial

61
replacement was recorded in our experiment, depending on the mode of degreaser usage and the
62
indoor activities that followed. Moreover, the dynamics of the pollution are described using a
63
combination of different aerosol instrumentation and analytical techniques during a
64
comprehensive indoor/outdoor experiment using both offline and online sampling techniques in
65
an experimental room at an Institute of Chemical Process Fundamentals (ICPF) facility. This
66
configuration is similar to one used in our previous paper4, but here, the investigation was
67
substantially enriched using a in house built humidity tandem differential mobility analyzer
68
(HTDMA)25, field OC/EC analyzer (Sunset Laboratory Inc., Tigard, USA), and compact time-
69
of-flight aerosol mass spectrometer (C-ToF-AMS, referred further as AMS, Aerodyne Research,
70
Inc., Billerica, USA)26. A complete overview of the campaign and its results are provided
71
elsewhere26. In this paper, the newly recognized effects of cleaning chemicals used indoors are
72
described with focus on change in indoor aerosol chemical composition.
73 74
Experimental procedures
75
The offline sampling used PM1 and PM10 sampling heads with Leckel pumps (Sven Leckel
76
GmbH, Berlin, Germany) and SDI and BLPI cascade impactors to collect aerosol samples in both
77
indoor and outdoor environments in parallel. Samples were collected for 23 h. The filter holders
78
were loaded with pre-combusted (800°C, 3 h) quartz fiber filters (Pall Tissuquartz, 47 mm). For
79
PM1, two filters in series were used to mitigate the possible adsorption artifacts for the OC/EC
80
analyses. The filters and BLPI samples were analyzed using gravimetry and ion chromatography.
81
More details about the sampling campaign can be found in Talbot et al. (2016)27. Here, the
82
description concentrates only on the experimental details relevant to this paper.

83
In addition to other sources, the influence of a W5 degreaser (Lidl Stiftung & Co. KG, Neckarsulm,
84
Germany) sprayed on kitchen furniture surfaces was studied. Similar degreasers are sold under
85
different names globally. The spray composition, as declared by the producer, is as follows
86
(without concentrations): water, sodium C13-17 alkane sulfonate, mono-ethanolamine, MEA-
87
palm kernelate, trisodium n,n-bis (carboxymethyl)-ß-alanine, perfume, limonene. The IC
88
chromatography analysis showed more than 5% (w/w) of MEA in the solution.
89
The following experiment was completed twice. During the first cleaner usage on September 1,
90
2014, the cleaner was applied at 6:30 p.m. for 1 min. At that time, 24 h filter sampling of PM1 and
91
PM10 aerosol was already underway, beginning at 10 a.m. The AMS, SMPS, APS, and HTDMA
92
were also continuously running during that whole period. The next day (September 2, 2014),
93
between 9 a.m. and 10 a.m., the filters were changed, and the BLPI and SDI were turned on at the
94
same time. The micro-ventilation and ventilator above the electrical stove were also turned on. No
95
additional indoor source was used over the next 24 h, but the micro-ventilation and ventilator were
96
switched off at 15:59 because a coal-burning smell was detected at the site. On the third day
97
(09/03/2014) at 9:44 a.m., the surface was wiped, and new filters were loaded. At 16:00, an outdoor
98
barbecue was used to visualize the entrainment of aerosols to the indoor space. No impactors were
99
running during that time. On September 4th and 5th, other indoor sources were tested. On September
100
6th, the same cleaning solution was used at 9:50 a.m., and the doors were closed at 10 a.m. Only
101
the online instruments, including the AMS, were running at that point and continued to run until
102
the end of campaign, on September 8th at 11:08.
103
The quartz fiber filter samples and the BLPI impactor foils were weighted and stored in a freezer
104
until the analysis of water soluble ions was completed using a Dionex 5000 system that enables
105
parallel analysis of both anions and cations. Two different calibrations were used for cations; one

106
of them included six amine standards in addition to the standard cations (Na+, NH4+, K+, Mg2+,
107
Ca2+). All amines (mono-ethanolamine (MEA), tri-ethanolamine (TEA), tri-ethylamine (TA), tri-
108
methylamine (TMA), methoxypropylamine (MPA), and tetra-methylammonium (TMAH)) used
109
in calibration were separated from other cations; however, complete separation of ammonium and
110
MEA was not achieved (Fig. 1).

113
AMS determination of MEA aerosol concentrations
114
The AMS data were first evaluated using standard procedures described in Allan et al. (2004)28
115
and for our instrument in Kubelová et al. (2015)29. Although c-ToF-AMS is not normally used for
116
the determination of individual substance concentrations, with the exception of certain inorganic
117
species, we have found a semi-quantitative way to determine MEA concentrations in the aerosol
118
phase during part of the sampling period. The determination was based on the difference in ratio
119
of m/zNO3 30 and m/zNO3 46, for normal ambient conditions (the ratio is normally relatively stable
120
in ambient aerosol for a given AMS instrument) and the same ratio for period under the MEA
121
influence. The concentration of MEA in aerosol was determined from balance of masses m/zNO3
122
30 and m/zNO3 46 originally attributed to nitrates and their ambient ratio and the ratio of same
123
masses found during calibration using MEA sulfate aerosol. The details of this procedure are
ACS Paragon Plus Environment
6

124
similar to those reported by Murphy et al. (2007)30, who characterized aminium nitrate salts
125
(including MEA nitrate) in a chamber study using c-ToF AMS and noted the influence of amines
126
on m/z 30, and are given in Supplement 1. The ratio is influenced by the presence of other sources
127
(particularly combustion); thus, only data without the strong influence of another source are
128
presented. Comparison of mass spectra measured for MEA sulfate showed a substantial effect on
129
mass m/z 30 that is normally attributed to nitrates (Fig. S2). No species dependent collection
130
efficiency (CE) was applied here.

135
Several sampling days throughout the campaign were devoted to determining the indoor/outdoor
136
relationship of aerosol without the influence of any major indoor source. Various ventilation
137
scenarios were used during these sampling days to test the influence of ventilation rate on indoor
138
concentrations. Table 1 contains the results of the average indoor-to-outdoor ratios of the main
139
aerosol species in PM1 and PM10.

In the case in which the indoor sources are absent, the average indoor concentrations are lower
145
than the outdoor concentrations for all the main species. The average ratio is given by the air
146
exchange rate and particle losses during the air exchange and by the strength of the indoor particle
147
sink. As all particle losses are size dependent, the compounds present in accumulation mode of the
148
particle size distribution (sulfates, oxalates, and ammonium) have similar PM1 and PM10 indoor-
149
to-outdoor ratios. Nitrates, although also present in accumulation mode in ambient aerosol, have
150
much lower ratios in both size fractions. This result is caused by the dissociation of ammonium
151
nitrate indoors, which is driven by a shift in thermodynamic equilibrium caused by nitric acid
152
deposition on indoor walls3. The results are similar to those presented in Smolik et al. (2008)4,
153
which were obtained at the same location. The differences between the two studies are probably
154
caused by differences in meteorological conditions, different types of windows (changed between
155
studies), and the installation of a cooker hood with a vent made directly through the wall, which
156
changed the ventilation rates.
157 158
Degreaser spray source tests (Using a spray)
159
Besides other sources, the W5 degreaser spray was tested twice, first on September 1, 2014, at
160
6:30 p.m., second on September 6, at 10:00 a.m. The first experiment is described in detail only as
ACS Paragon Plus Environment

161
very similar results were observed in the second test. The compositional results changed
162
substantially after using the degreaser spray (Fig. 2). IC results showed almost complete
163
replacement of the NH4+ cation with an mono-ethanol aminium cation (MEA+) both in PM1 (Fig.
164
2) and PM10 (Fig. S4). The MEA-containing degreaser W5 was applied 8 h after the beginning of
165
sampling. However, almost no NH4+ cation was detected in the sample from this day. Hence, the
166
replacement of the NH4+ cation happened not only in the airborne aerosol but also on aerosol
167
particles that had been deposited on the filter before the degreaser was applied.

The results from the first day, when the degreaser was used, indicate almost complete

176
transformation of NH4+ to MEA salts. Despite removing the degreaser from the surface and
177
ventilating the room on September 2nd, the partial replacement of NH4+ is observed throughout the
178
next few days. This finding seems even more striking if the high air exchange rate 1.26 air
179
exchanges per hour is taken into account when the no ventilation experiment was performed27.
180
However, the amount of MEA needed for complete replacement of ammonium in the indoor
181
aerosol inside small kitchen with 28 m3 volume for 24 hours is actually very small – 2.5 mg of
182
MEA. The other aerosol sources examined on September 3rd had no influence on this effect as they
183
did not content any MEA.
184
Ventilation is expected to cause an exponential decrease in the MEA concentration leading to a
185
decrease in concentration by orders of magnitude in the indoor environment; thus, there must have
186
remained a weak source of MEA. This source was a leftover on the kitchen surfaces after using a
187
paper towel or MEA deposited elsewhere and the paper towel used for cleaning and disposed in
188
the kitchen wastebasket. Another possibility is the slow release of MEA from the MEA organic
189
salt present in the degreaser.
190 191
Nitrate stabilization
192
In addition to the replacement of ammonia in sulfate salts, the replacement of ammonia in
193
ammonium nitrate was observed, leading to increased stability and increased concentrations of
194
fine nitrates indoors. This conclusion was deduced from almost complete replacement of NH4+ in
195
nitrates on September 1st and the differences in the average indoor/outdoor ratio of PM1 nitrate
196
concentrations in the period without MEA influence (0.18) and the period with MEA influence
197
(0.51). It appears that MEA partially stabilized fine nitrates in the aerosol phase. This effect is also
198
shown in Fig. 2 (especially September 1st data) and (less visibly) in Figs. 3 and S5 (AMS data).
ACS Paragon Plus Environment

199
This result agrees with that reported by Salo et al. (2011)11, who measured the evaporation rate of
200
aminium nitrate compounds for various amines and found a lower rate of evaporation/dissociation
201
for aminium salts of nitric acid relative to ammonium nitrate.
202 203
Time-dependent data
204
Using the procedure described above, MEA+ concentrations from the AMS spectra were
205
determined. Figs. 3 and S5 shows the real concentrations of ammonium, nitrates, sulfates, and
206
organics together with the concentration of MEA+ before and after degreaser usage with
207
highlighted time of the degreaser usage. Clearly, the indoor MEA+ salt concentrations were
208
elevated immediately after using the degreaser, and this effect persisted for several days in the first
209
experiment and until the end of the second experiment (Fig. S5). The organic peak that appeared
210
just after using the degreaser spray arose from the aerosolized degreaser solution. Its sharp
211
decrease illustrates how standard short-term aerosol emissions behave indoors. In contrast, the
212
MEA aerosol concentration remained almost constant until the window was opened before 10 a.m.
213
on the next day. This persistence is not possible without interactions that are described above, i.e.
214
the evaporation of MEA from a surface followed by the replacement of ammonia in salts present
215
in the aerosol.
216
The rate of ammonium sulfate transformation to aminium sulfate is strongly depending on
217
particle phase as shown by Chu et al. 2017. In our case presence of water in particles may be
218
supposed as indoor RH was between 40 and 75%, which favors faster transformation.
219
A non-zero concentration of MEA+ was found outdoor via AMS analysis but not on the outdoor
220
filter. Although part of the data may represent an artifact connected to the uncertainty of the MEA+
221
concentration determination, we cannot exclude the possibility of MEA+ transport to the outdoor
ACS Paragon Plus Environment
11
Environmental Science & Technology

222
environment. The differences between the outdoor filter data, where no MEA+ was found, and the
223
AMS data can be explained by the fact that the filter samplers are located 5 m from the building,
224
which is much farther than the outdoor AMS inlet (0.5 m).
225 226
After the windows were opened, the results significantly changed, but some trends remained. The ammonium appeared again, in salts, but part of the ammonium was still replaced by MEA+.

235 236
Similar MEA behavior with the complete replacement of ammonium with indoor MEA+ was also
237
observed via AMS during the second experiment when the room was closed throughout the entire
238
weekend after the degreaser application at 10 a.m. on September 6th (Fig. S5).
239 240
Cascade impactor results
241
In addition to filter sampling and AMS measurement, the BLPI cascade impactor was used on
242
September 2nd. An analysis of the samples, shown in Fig. 4, revealed partial replacement of the
243
NH4+ cation with MEA+. The mass ratio of MEA+ to the NH4+ ions from impactor stages with
244
geometric mean diameters of 0.08, 0.13, 0.20, 0.33, and 0.61 µm were equal to 3.50, 2.02, 1.40,
ACS Paragon Plus Environment
13
Environmental Science & Technology
Page 14 of 21
245
0.46, and 0.12, respectively. The size dependence of this ratio, regardless of any uncertainty caused
246
by the incomplete separation of the ammonium and MEA+ peaks especially for low values of the
247
ratio, clearly shows that the rate of replacement was higher for smaller particles. This finding
248
strongly supports the conclusion that the transformation occurred in the aerosol phase and was
249
limited by the available surface area.
250 251
Instruments intercomparisons
252
To confirm quantitative agreement between the filter samples, impactor samples, and AMS data,
253
the approximation of PM1 on the impactor (impactor stages 1-6, stage 6 upper cut diameter of 0.86
254
µm) and AMS (AMS total, CE= 0.7 was applied here, see Talbot et al. 201626) were calculated for
255
comparison with indoor PM1 filter results on September 2nd.
256
The comparison of the data is shown in Table 2 for the major species.
257 258

NH4+ 0.29 0.53 0.19
MEA 0.82 0.26 0.49
259 260
In general, a good agreement was found for sulfates and nitrates. However, MEA+
261
concentrations higher than the ammonium cation concentrations were found on the filter, while
262
the opposite was true for the cascade impactor. There are two possible causes that have acted in
263
conjunction. First, MEA, similar to other organics, have been adsorbed onto the quartz fiber filter;
264
thus, part of the analyzed MEA have come from a gas phase. This effect can be deduced from the
265
backup filter analysis used for the PM1 filters in which MEA concentrations were found (1-3% of
ACS Paragon Plus Environment
14
Page 15 of 21
Environmental Science & Technology
266
the amount found on the front filter), with the maximum on September 1st. Second, the ammonium
267
salts already captured on the filter could have reacted with the MEA in the gas phase and increased
268
the MEA salt content on the filter. This mechanism could apply to a lesser extent with the impactor
269
samples, but only the particles in the upper layer can directly react with the gaseous phase as was
270
observed on the first sampling date when the MEA cleaner was used. This transformation does not
271
occur so much on the cascade impactor samples because they are less exposed to the gaseous phase
272
relative to particles deposited on a quartz fiber filter. This is also supported by comparison of
273
equivalent sum of ammonium and MEA+ for PM1 (30 neqv/m3) and impactor (34 neqv/m3) results
274
that further support this explanation differing within experimental uncertainty. The concentration
275
of MEA found by AMS was in between the filter and the impactor data. The lowest ammonium
276
concentration was found using AMS and may be partially artifactual because of the complex
277
corrections applied during the ammonium determination, the indoor environment, and naturally
278
similar MEA fragments.
279 280 281
Implications
282
The use of MEA and other less volatile amine-containing mixtures in our homes and other indoor
283
environments (similar data were found repeatedly in a machinery workshop) significantly changes
284
the chemical composition of indoor aerosols. These changes alter people’s daily interactions with
285
amines, exposing them to various aminium salts that may have unexpected consequences for
286
human health. Moreover, the use of MEA indoors also stabilizes nitrates in the aerosol phase and
287
consequently increases the nitrate exposure to people. The rather insignificant effects of MEA
288
exposure for the general population can be multiplied for professionals working with such

289
substances e.g. in restaurants. Therefore, studies on the toxicology of aminium salts, especially
290
aminium sulfates and nitrates, on human lungs are needed.
