Summary
Characteristic examples of recent achievements in reduction of exposure to environmental N-nitroso compounds are given. Elucidation of the causes of such exposure has led to suggestions for preventive measures, as is shown for nitrosamines in beer, for occupational exposure in the rubber industry and some other areas.
