Nitrosamines – laboratory analysis and determination of nitrites and of nitrates

Nitrosamines are formed by the nitrosation between nitrites or nitrates and amines or amides. The final molecule is the result of the addition of a nitroso radical and the formed compound is only stable with secondary amines.
