Forms when amines react with nitrosating agents; found in rubber/chemical manufacturing, tobacco smoke, and can form at low levels during chloraminated drinking water and wastewater treatment [2][3].

Drinking water in some systems, tobacco smoke, certain consumer products made from rubber, and workplace air in relevant industries [2][3].

Long-term exposure increases cancer risk (especially liver; tumors seen in animals) and may harm the liver [1][3].

Workers in rubber/chemical or water treatment facilities; people who smoke or breathe secondhand smoke; communities using chloraminated water; infants consuming formula mixed with affected tap water (higher dose per body weight) [2][3].

Avoid smoking and secondhand smoke; check your water utility’s reports for nitrosamines; consider a certified reverse osmosis device if nitrosamines are present; follow workplace controls and PPE; limit use of products that may release nitrosamines and ventilate well [2][3].
