Title: Atmospheric chemistry of toxic contaminants. 6. Nitrosamines: Dialkyl nitrosamines and nitrosomorpholine

Abstract

Detailed mechanisms are outlined for the reactions that contribute to in-situ formation and atmospheric removal of dimethylnitrosamine, diethylnitrosamine, methyl-ethylnitrosamine, and nitrosomorpholine. In-situ formation involves the rapid reaction of amines with the hydroxyl radical, leading to nitrosamines, nitramines, amides, and aldehydes. Nitrosamine photolysis accounts for their rapid daytime removal, leading to amino radicals whose atmospheric reactions are also discussed.
