N-Nitrosomethylvinylamine
A yellow, volatile liquid nitrosamine that emits toxic fumes of nitrogen oxides when heated to decomposition. N-Nitrosomethylvinylamine has been found in several vegetables, cheeses, meats, alcoholic beverages and fruits. It is only used as a research chemical to induce tumor formation. Exposure to this substance causes liver and kidney damage. N-Nitrosomethylvinylamine is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen. (NCI Thesaurus)
