An N-nitrosamine
N-Nitrosodibutylamine is an N-nitrosamine.1 It induces apoptosis and the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in HL-60 leukemia cells when used at concentrations of 10 and 20 mM.2 N-Nitrosodibutylamine (0.05% in the drinking water) induces tumor formation in rats.3 It has been found in various food products, including fresh vegetables and pork, and influent and effluent of wastewater.1,4
