Determination of nitrite and volatile nitrosamines in animal diets

Animal diets (chow, agar, and casein) similar to those used in two nitrite feeding studies that reported an increase in the incidence of lymphomas in rats were analyzed over a 14-day period. Sodium nitrite was added to the chow diet at levels of 0, 1000, and 2000 ppm, to the agar diet at 0, 500, 100...
