Abstract:

A Weibull analysis is presented of the dose and time relationships for the effects on 4080 inbred rats of chronic ingestion in the drinking water of 16 different doses of N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) or N-nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA). The sites chiefly affected were the liver (by both agents) and the esophagus (by NDEA only). Since the experiment continued on into extreme old age, effects became measurable at doses of only 0.01 to 0.02 mg/kg/day, which is an order of magnitude lower than previ...
