Article Abstract

Elastomers compounded with accelerators or stabilizers derived from dialkylamines have been found to contain the corresponding N-nitrosodialkylamines. Previous work showed that the N-nitrosamines are evolved from heated elastomers; we have not found they are also extractable in water. In the absence of the dialkylamino compound in the elastomer, no N-nitrosodialkylamines were detected. Generally, less than 250 parts of N-nitrosamine per billion parts of elastomer was detected after extracting for one or five days at room temperature or 100 degrees C. Compounded and cured polychloroprene, ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer, chlorosulfonated polyethylene, and natural rubber, as well as several commercial rubber articles, were included in this study. Controls were run to determine the background levels of N-nitrosamines and the recovery of N-nitrosamines from the extraction solvent. N-nitrosamines were quantitated using gas chromatography with thermal energy analyzer detection.

The presence of N-nitrosamine impurities in pharmaceutical products is well known. In 2019, it resulted in drug recall by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Soon, several groups identified the presence of many N-nitrosamines (NAs) in various Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) and drug formulations worldwide.

Visual, sensitive, and selective detection of carcinogenic substances is highly desired in portable health protection and practical medicine production. However, achieving this goal presents significant challenges with the traditional single-mode sensors reported so far, as they have limited sensing mechanisms and provide only a single output signal. Here, we report an effective optical and electrical dual-mode sensor for the visual, sensitive, and selective detection of -nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA), a typical volatile carcinogenic substance, leveraging the synergy of ionic liquid-doped liquid crystals (IL-LC).

Rhodium(III) catalysis has been used for C-H activation of -nitrosoanilines with substituted allyl alcohols. This method provides an efficient synthesis of the functional -nitroso β-aryl aldehydes and ketones with low catalyst loading, high functional group tolerance, and superior reactivity of allyl alcohols toward -nitrosoanilines. We demonstrated that reaction also proceeds through the one-pot synthesis of -nitrosoaniline, followed by subsequent, C-H activation.

Impact of physicochemical and microbial drivers on the formation of disinfection by-products in drinking water distribution systems: A multivariate Bayesian network modeling approach.

The formation of disinfection byproducts (DBPs) in drinking water distribution systems (DWDS) is significantly affected by numerous factors, including physicochemical water properties, microbial community composition and structure, and the characteristics of organic DBP precursors. However, the codependence of various factors remains unclear, particularly the contribution of microbial-derived organics to DBP formation, which has been inadequately explored. Herein, we present a Bayesian network modeling framework incorporating a Bayesian-based microbial source tracking method and excitation-emission fluorescence spectroscopy-parallel factor analysis to capture the critical drivers influencing DBP formation and explore their interactions.
