What are the Health Risks Associated with N-nitroso Compounds?
N-nitroso compounds are considered potent carcinogens. They have been shown to induce tumors in multiple organ systems in animal studies, and there is evidence suggesting their involvement in human cancers, particularly gastric and esophageal cancers. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies some N-nitroso compounds as probable human carcinogens.
