N-Nitrosomorpholine
A yellow, crystalline nitrosamine that is sensitive to light. N-Nitrosomorpholine is not used or produced commercially in the US. This substance has been found as a contaminant in rubber products, including rubber nipples for baby bottles, and is also found in several vegetables, cheeses, alcoholic beverages and fruits. N-Nitrosomorpholine is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen. (NCI Thesaurus)
