  • Title: Exposure assessment to preformed environmental N-nitroso compounds from the point of view of our own studies.
    Author: Fine DH.
    Journal: Oncology; 1980; 37(4):199-202. PubMed ID: 7443151.
    Abstract:
    The largest human exposure to N-nitrosamines is in the industrial section. Leather tanners are exposed to N-nitrosodimethylamine at levels up to 47 microgram/m3, corresponding to 440 microgram/person/day. Workers in the curing area of tire factories are exposed to N-nitrosomorpholine at levels up to 27 microgram/m3, corresponding to a intake of 250 microgram/person/day. These industrial exposures are considerably greater than exposure via foodstuffs, beer, cosmetics, cutting fluids and herbicides.
