AB  - A wide variety of nitrogen-containing compounds are present in the environment, 
      which contributes to air pollution and new particle formation, for example. These 
      eventually affect human health and the climate. With all this consideration, 
      there is a growing interest in the development of efficient and reliable methods 
      to determine these compounds in the atmosphere. In this study, titanium hydrogen 
      phosphate-modified Mobil Composition of Matter No. 41 was used as sorbent 
      material for in-tube extraction (ITEX) sampling system, to selectively collect 
      nitrogen-containing compounds from natural air samples. The effect of sampling 
      accessories, based on adsorbent coatings (with Tenax-GR as an adsorbent material) 
      and polytetrafluoroethylene filters, was studied to improve the selectivity of 
      the sampling system and to remove particles. Aerial drone with miniaturized air 
      sampling system was employed for the reliable collection of nitrogen-containing 
      compounds in both gas phase and aerosol particles. A total of 170 air samples 
      were collected in July 2020 at the SMEAR II station, Finland to evaluate 
      nitrogen-containing compounds diurnal patterns and vertical profiles (0.25, 5, 
      50, and 150 m). More than twenty nitrogen-containing compounds, such as aliphatic 
      amines, imines, imidazoles, and pyridines, were identified, quantified or 
      semi-quantified. The average concentrations of detected aliphatic amines at the 
      altitude of 50 m were up to 40.4 ng m(-3) (dimethylamine) in gas phase and 
      128 ng m(-3) (ethylamine) in aerosol particles. Among nitrogen-containing 
      compounds detected, pyridine gave the highest average concentration of 
      746 ng m(-3) in gas phase and 644 ng m(-3) in particle phase.
