Nitroglycerin <br />It is used in the production of explosives, and in rocket <br />propellants. It is also a pharmaceutical for the treatment of <br />angina. <br />N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone <br />It is a solvent in the chemical industry, and is used in the <br />formulation of pharmaceuticals for oral and dermal delivery. <br />N-nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA) <br />It is a nitrosamine used as an additive in gasoline and in <br />lubricants, as an antioxidant and as a stabilizer in plastics. It is <br />formed in cured foods and during high temperature cooking of <br />meats and fish, and may be a disinfection byproduct. <br />N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) <br />It was formerly used in the production of rocket fuels, anti- <br />oxidants and softeners for copolymers. It is formed in cured <br />foods and during high temperature cooking. It may be a <br />leachate from rubber gaskets and fittings and may form as a <br />disinfection byproduct. <br />N-nitroso-di-n-propylamine (NDPA) <br />It is formed in cured foods and during high temperature <br />cooking of meats and fish and may be a disinfection <br />byproduct. It is a contaminant in dinitrofluralin herbicides. <br />N-Nitrosodiphenylamine <br />It is used in the vulcanization of rubber and as an inhibitor of <br />polymerization in the production of polystyrene. It may be a <br />disinfection byproduct. <br />N-nitrosopyrrolidine (NPYR) <br />It is used in rubber production. It is formed in cured foods and <br />during high temperature cooking of meats and fish and may <br />be a disinfection byproduct. <br />Nonylphenol2 <br />The main use of nonylphenol is in the manufacture of <br />nonylphenol ethoxylates, which have been used in a wide <br />range of industrial applications and consumer products <br />including laundry detergents, cleaners, degreasers, paints and <br />coatings and other uses. Several other CASRNs are associated <br />with nonyphenol due to varying chemical structures including: <br />104-40-5, 84852-15-3, 91672-41-2, and 139-84-4. <br />Norethindrone (19-Norethisterone) <br />Norethindrone is a synthetic hormone used in oral <br />contraceptives and for hormone replacement therapy. <br />n-Propylbenzene <br />It is a constituent of asphalt and naptha and used in the <br />manufacture of methyl styrene. It is a solvent for printing and <br />dying of textiles. <br />o-Toluidine <br />It is used in the production of dyes, rubber, pharmaceuticals <br />and pesticides. <br />Oxirane, methyl <br />It is an industrial chemical used in the production of other <br />substances. It is a registered pesticide. <br />Oxydemeton-methyl <br />It is an insecticide. <br />Oxyfluorfen <br />It is an herbicide. <br />Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) <br />PFOS has been used to make carpets, leathers, textiles, fabrics <br />for furniture, paper packaging, and other materials that are <br />resistant to water, grease, or stains. It is also used in <br />firefighting foams at airfields. Many of these uses have been <br />phased out by its primary U.S. manufacturer; however, there <br />are still some ongoing uses. <br />
