Some Nitrosamines are rare and are not produced commercially such as MNNG, N-Nitrosodi-n-butylamine, and many others which are solely for research purposes. N‑Nitrosodiethylamine was once widely used in gasoline, lubricants, and much more.<ref name=pdf/> In 2001 and 2003 studies proved that many rubber products such as balloons contain a potentially dangerous amount of Nitrosamines. Upon examination in 2001, of 16 balloons 81% released dangerous amounts of nitrosamines and in 2003 93% of 14 balloons. After more tests the conclusion was that nitrosamines in rubber poses 1.5 to 3 times greater danger than food.<ref name=mig> Altkofer, Werner.
