5. Question
With reference to N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), consider the following statements:
1. NDMA is a volatile organic chemical that occurs widely in the environment due to its formation from common precursors.
2. It is classified as a probable human carcinogen.
Which of these statements is/are correct?
Correct
(c) Both 1 and 2
N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) is a volatile organic chemical that is widely found in the environment and is classified as a probable human carcinogen.
NDMA is a yellow, odorless liquid chemical that is a byproduct of several manufacturing processes and water chlorination. It is also created when food or drink is processed, and chemicals found in food and water can turn into NDMA in the stomach. For most people, the largest source of exposure to NDMA is through endogenous production (within the body) from precursors that occur naturally in the body or in the diet.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has classified NDMA as a Group B2, probable human carcinogen. Animal studies have suggested that chronic ingestion and inhalation of NDMA may cause an increase in liver tumors and other types of tumors.
