AB  - An improved ion chromatographic method including two elution procedures was 
      proposed for the quantitative determination of atmospheric alkylamines in field 
      atmospheric samples involving high levels of inorganic cations by using 
      18-crown-6 as mobile phase additive. When 18-crown-6 was added to the mobile 
      phase, the retention times increased significantly for Na(+), NH(4)(+), K(+) and 
      primary alkylamines but decreased for secondary and tertiary alkylamines due to 
      the complexation with certain cations and interaction with both stationary and 
      mobile phases of 18-crown-6. As a result, the separation of the cations was 
      greatly promoted, which reduced the interference of peak distortion of overloaded 
      inorganic cations on the quantitation of adjacent alkylamines. By using the 
      presented method, five inorganic cations (Na(+), NH(4)(+), K(+), Mg(2+), Ca(2+)) 
      and six alkylamines (dimethylamine (DMAH(+)), trimethylamine + diethylamine 
      (TMAH(+) + DEAH(+)), propylamine (MPAH(+)), triethylamine (TEAH(+)), ethanolamine 
      (MEOAH(+)) and triethanolamine (TEOAH(+))) were effectively separated and 
      determined, and the relative standard derivations (RSDs) of objective cations 
      were all less than 1% for retention time and 3.1% for peak area (n = 9), 
      respectively. The linearity was excellent for each cation (R(2) > 0.993) except 
      for NH(4)(+) and TEOAH(+) showing a non-linear response (R(2) > 0.998 for 
      theoretical non-linear fitting), and the detection limit of these cations were 
      0.03-1.19 ng. The proposed method was successfully used in the determination of 
      both alkylamines and inorganic cations in ambient particulate matters and gaseous 
      alkylamines in ceiling duct exhaust. The annual average concentrations of 
      DMAH(+), TMAH(+) + DEAH(+) and TEAH(+) were 15.56, 4.35 and 16.00 ng m(-3) in 
      PM(2.5) over Shanghai in 2013. The concentrations of gaseous DMA and TMA + DEA in 
      ceiling duct exhaust reached a maximum of 940.0 and 112.7 mug m(-3), and were 
      positively correlated with the human activity intensity, suggesting that human 
      excreta emissions was a potential important source of atmospheric alkylamines in 
      urban area of Shanghai.
