title: Volatile nitrosamines in foods on the Swedish market and estimation of their daily intake.
abstract: Foods on the Swedish market in 1980-1986 were analysed for volatile N-nitrosamines using gas chromatography-thermal energy analysis. Detectable levels were found in 474 of the 764 samples analysed. The average daily intake of volatile N-nitrosamines was estimated to be 0.29 microgram per person. Over 93% of the intake comes from meat and malt products.
