Occurrence of nitrosamines and their precursors in North American drinking waters.

Heads up: Nitrosamines, which are really strong cancer-causing compounds from water disinfection, have popped up in treated drinking water all over North America. How much you find depends a lot on the disinfection method and the quality of the source water. N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) is the most common one we see. It mostly forms when chloramine-based disinfection reacts with certain compounds already in the source water.
