Abstract When 1,1‐dimethylhydrazine and N ‐aminopiperidine were deliberately exposed to air substantial amounts of the corresponding carcinogenic nitrosamines were formed. Unoxidized samples of 1,1‐dimethylhydrazine were not mutagenic while oxidized samples (which contained much higher levels of nitrosamines) were mutagenic. Both unoxidized and oxidized samples of N ‐aminopiperidine were mutagenic.
