The formation and growth of atmospheric nanoparticles has been the subject of intense study in recent years. Although sulfuric acid and water have been recognized as key ingredients in new particle formation in the atmosphere, organic species are thought to contribute to the phenomenon. Among hundreds of organic species, amines have been recently proposed as candidates which play important roles in new particle formation. In this article, recent field, laboratory and computational studies on the effects of amines in the formation and growth of atmospheric nanoparticles are briefly reviewed.
