title: Precautions to be taken in the analysis of total N-nitroso compounds.
abstract: Methodologies used to assess N-nitroso compounds as a group by chemical denitrosation with hydrogen bromide in glacial acetic acid have been described. Carrying out these analyses without precautions can cause considerable variations in results. Some pitfalls must be avoided in order to obtain valuable results and accurate interpretations.
