The Influence of Phosphate Buffer on the Formation of N-Nitrosodimethylamine from Dimethylamine Nitrosation

Figure 5

(a) Amounts of NDMA formed after 2 h from the reaction of a large excess of NaNO2 (40 mM) with DMA (0.4 mM). (b) Amounts of NDMA formed from the reaction between a large excess of DMA (40 mM) and NaNO2 (0.4 mM). The reaction solutions were buffered at pH 6.4 citrate buffer at 90°C with the concentration of NaH2PO4 being 1 mM. The vertical bars represent the standard deviation ( ).
