Measurement of n-nitrosamine concentrations in NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) Diesel Exhaust/Coal Dust Study
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6424716
Measurements were taken of N-nitrosamine concentrations present in the animal chambers used during the NIOSH Diesel Exhaust/Coal Dust study. Monthly, and sometimes weekly, samples were taken. Samples were taken over 2 to 7 hours. The following nitrosamines were sought: N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), N-nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA), N-nitrosodipropylamine (NDPA), N-nitrosodibutylamine (NDBA), N-nitrosopiperidine (NPIP), N-nitrosopyrrolidine (NPYR), N-nitrosomorpholine (NMOR), and N-nitrosodiphenylamine (NDPhA). Only NDMA, NDEA, and NDPA were detected above the detection limits of the system, 6.0 nanograms/cubic meter. Precursors of nitrosamine formation were present in and prior to the exposure chambers, as indicated by the conversion of nitrosatable amines in samplers into the corresponding nitrosamine. The authors conclude that the observed nitrosamines appear to occur subsequent to diesel-exhaust emission from the engine.
