I read your question and I had no idea what TMAU was so i googled it, and i found myself at this website it was very interesting here is the sight: http://www.wapd.org/index.php?pgref=kb/tmau
Good Luck!
PS: if no one responds to this question with TMAU you could probably contact who ever wrote the article (on the sight I gave you), because they said that they had TMAU
