N-nitrosodimethylamine
Also known as dimethylnitrosamine, N,N-dimethylnitrosamine, DMNA, n-methyl-n-nitroso-methanamine, NDMA, n-nitroso-n,n-dimethylamine, N -Nitrosodimethylamine, NDMA
'''N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), also known as dimethylnitrosamine (DMN'''), is an organic compound with the formula (CH3)2NNO. It is one of the simplest members of a large class of nitrosamines. It is a volatile yellow oil. NDMA has attracted wide attention as being highly hepatotoxic and a known carcinogen in laboratory animals.
