In organic chemistry, nitrosamines (or more formally N-nitrosamines) are organic compounds with the chemical structure R2N−N=O, where R is usually an...

Tobacco-specific nitrosamines (TSNAs) comprise one of the most important groups of carcinogens in tobacco products, particularly cigarettes (traditional...

drugs) contain nitrosamine impurities. Health Canada also reported nitrosamine impurities. The FDA issued revised guidelines about nitrosamine impurities...

The nitrosamine N-nitrosodiethylamine has been found in cosmetics and is a possible product of DEMA nitrosation. However, this toxic nitrosamine has only...

Nicotine-derived nitrosamine ketone (NNK) is one of the key tobacco-specific nitrosamines derived from nicotine. It plays an important role in carcinogenesis...
