N-NITROSODI-N-PROPYLAMINE

Use

N-nitrosodi-N-propylamine is used in the manufacture of plastics, resins, rubber, and synthetic textiles. There is no evidence that N-nitrosodi-N-propylamine exists naturally in soil, air, food, or water. Small quantities of N-nitrosodi-N-propylamine are inadvertently produced during some manufacturing processes; as an impurity in some commercially available dinitroaniline based weed killers, and during the manufacture of some rubber products. However, according to Sax, some similar N-nitroso compounds are formed in the environment and absorbed from precursors in food, water, or air; from tobacco; and from naturally occurring compounds.
