Quantitative Analysis of N-Nitrosamines by Gas Chromatography
Abstract
Of the chemicals known to exhibit carcinogenic properties
one of the most extensive series is the collective group of
nitrosamines. Most nitrosamines can initiate tumors in at
least one animal species, and all animal species which have
so far been tested are susceptible to nitrosamine carcinogenesis. Although nitrosamines exhibit carcinoginicity
in the tested animal species, the tumors induced
and the organs affected vary from different animals.
