Call for evidence on nitrosamines

We have launched a call for evidence on the following nitrosamines:

N-nitrosodiethylamine (diethylnitrosoamine) (EC 200-226-1, CAS 55-18-5);
N-nitrosodimethylamine (dimethylnitrosoamine) (EC 200-549-8, CAS 62-75-9);
N-nitroso di-n-propylamine (EC 210-698-0, CAS 621-64-7); and
N-nitrosodiethanoamine (2,2'-(Nitrosoimino)bisethanol) (EC 214-237-4; CAS 1116-54-7).

The aim is to gather new scientific information on uses, exposure, health effects, toxicology, epidemiology and modes of action of these substancse. Any other relevant information (for example, on similar substances) is also welcome.

The information will help us draft scientific reports related to exposure limits at the workplace.

The deadline for comments is 6 September 2022.
