NCIt definition : A yellow, liquid nitrosamine that rapidly degrades in the presence of light and emits
toxic fumes of nitrogen oxides when heated to decomposition. Nitrosodipropylamine
is found as a contaminant in cheese, alcoholic beverages, rubber products and certain
herbicides. Nitrosodipropylamine may be formed in vivo by the nitrosation of propylamine
in the presence of nitrite. This substance is solely used for research purposes to
induce tumors in experimental animals. Nitrosodipropylamine is reasonably anticipated
to be a human carcinogen. (NCI05);
