Formation, precursors, control, and occurrence of nitrosamines in drinking water: A review

Occurrence and profiling of multiple nitrosamines in source water and drinking water of China

“…Different types of nitrosamines in finished waters have been detected and characterized in several other locations in North America, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Asia. In these studies, NDMA was the most commonly detected, and the concentrations were up to 18.3 ng/L in North America, up to 65 ng/L in Canada (Russell et al, 2012;Krasner et al, 2013;Uzun et al, 2015;Charrois et al, 2007;Zhao et al, 2008), up to 10 ng/L in Japan (Asami et al, 2009), and up to 35.7 ng/L in China (Wang et al, 2010(Wang et al, , 2012. Compared to those surveys, NDEA and NDBA were also two dominant nitrosamines in finished waters in this study and previous reports of China (Wang et al, 2010(Wang et al, , 2012.…”

“…However, Charrois et al (2007) showed that there was trend between higher DOC and SUVA values and detectable NDMA. Krasner et al (2013) indicated that dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) may correlate with NDMA-FP; but Uzun et al (2015) reported that there was only a weak correlation (R 2 = 0.27) between NDMA-FP and DON, and multiple linear regression analysis using DOC and log [sucralose] yielded a better correlation with NDMA FP (R 2 = 0.53). In general, an accurate relationship may not be observed due to the lower concentration (ng/L level) of nitrosamines compared with the higher concentration levels of water quality parameters (mg/L level); further, the precursors of nitrosamines at lower concentration may significantly influence the nitrosamine-FPs, and which could not be reflected by the basic water quality parameters.…”

Synthesis, thermal studies and conversion degree of dimethacrylate polymers using new non-toxic coinitiators

“…However, it is known that secondary and tertiary amines are toxic and carcinogenic to humans, as they may leach into the human body after being used as bone polymers and dentistry polymers. [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] To ensure patient safety and regarding green chemistry, these amines should be changed to polyalcohol. With this in mind, this study employed only non-toxic polyalcohols such as glycerol ( (1,2,3-propanetriol), a colorless, odorless, sweetish and very viscous liquid, is a trihidroxylated compound with three carbons, derived from both natural and petrochemical sources.…”

Determination of a N-Nitrosodimethylamine Precursor in Water Using Ultra-high Performance Liquid Chromatography–Tandem Mass Spectrometry

“…[6][7][8][9] Compared to NDMA formation upon chloramination, reports of NDMA formation upon ozonation from water at water purification plants (WPPs) and sewage treatment plants (STPs) have been limited. [10][11][12][13] In the case of WPPs in Germany, N,N-dimethylsulfamide (DMS) was shown to be an NDMA precursor upon ozonation.…”
