Carcinogenic N-nitroso compounds and their environmental significance.

R Preussmann.   

Abstract

A short review is given on the potent and organ-specific carcinogenic effects of N-nitroso compounds. Like many other chemical carcinogens, nitrosamino compounds require activation in vivo via enzymatic alpha-hydroxylation to form alkylating agents as ultimate carcinogens. Since no epidemiological data in man are available, extrapolation of animal data to man are important as well as dose-response studies in risk evaluations. Important aspects of these problems are presented. Finally the environmental impact of N-nitroso compounds is summarized.
