Nnitrosodimethylamin
N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) is a chemical compound with the formula (CH3)2N-N=O. It is a secondary amine and a nitrosamine, a class of compounds that are known to be carcinogenic in animal studies. NDMA is a volatile, colorless liquid with a fishy odor. It is primarily used as a precursor in the synthesis of other chemicals, such as pesticides and rubber chemicals.
NDMA is formed as a by-product in various industrial processes, including the production of rubber chemicals,
The health effects of NDMA are of particular concern due to its carcinogenic potential. Animal studies have
Efforts to mitigate NDMA exposure include improving industrial processes to reduce its formation, implementing stricter regulations
