What are the Epidemiological Findings on N-Nitroso Compounds?
Epidemiological studies have consistently found associations between NOC exposure and increased cancer risk. For instance, a higher intake of processed meats, which contain nitrites and nitrates, has been linked to an elevated risk of colorectal cancer. Studies have also shown that occupational exposure to NOCs in industries such as rubber manufacturing is associated with a higher incidence of certain cancers.
