Abstract

The widespread interest in the presence of N-nitroso compounds within the environment and consumer products is due to the known carcinogenicity and mutagenicity of many of these chemicals. The need to have a rapid and reliable screening technique which could be used as quality control/evaluation method where sophisticated analytical instrumentation was not available led to the development of a colorimetric method for determining the total level of N-nitrosamines in the environment and consumer products. In this communication the total levels of N-nitrosamine contamination of dairy and tobacco products in Nigeria are examined.
