N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) is the simplest dialkylnitrosamine with a molecular formula of C2H6N2O and a relative molecular mass of 74.08. It is no longer used industrially or commercially in Canada or the USA but continues to be released as a by-product and contaminant from various industries and from municipal wastewater treatment plants.In this volume are assessed the risks to human health and the environment of this chemical. Based upon laboratory studies in which tumours have been induced in all species examined at relatively low doses NDMA is clearly carcinogenic. It is concluded that

This book evaluates the risks to human health and the environment of formaldehyde. Formaldehyde is a colourless highly reactive gas with a pungent irritating odour at room temperature. Sensory irritation of the eyes and respiratory tract by formaldehyde has been observed consistently in clinical studies and epidemiological surveys in occupational and residential environments.Formaldehyde is produced commercially and used predominantly in the synthesis of resins but the largest direct human source of formaldehyde in the environment is the combustion of organic materials.
