Description:
Airborne N-nitrosomorpholine (0 to 27 micrograms per cubic meter) was found in two of four rubber industry factories. N-Nitrosodimethylamine was also found in two factories, but at lower levels. These findings may be relevant to the reported increased risk of certain types of cancer in rubber workers in some of the same areas where the N-nitrosomorpholine levels were highest.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Fajen, J M -- Carson, G A -- Rounbehler, D P -- Fan, T Y -- Vita, R -- Goff, U E -- Wolf, M H -- Edwards, G S -- Fine, D H -- Reinhold, V -- Biemann, K -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1979 Sep 21;205(4412):1262-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/472741" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
