The concentration of N-nitrosamines (N-nitrosodimethylamine and N-nitrosodiethylamine) was measured in blood samples from children after consumption of drinking water with high content of nitrates (main group) or water meeting health standards (reference group). N-nitrosodimethylamine level in the blood from children of the main group differed from that in the reference group by 2.6 times (0.00026±0.00012 and 0.0001±0.00092 mg/dm, respectively; p<0.05). The specific immune response to N-nitrosodimethylamine exposure was manifested in an increase in the level of specific serum IgG (2 times higher than that in the reference group). An increase in the specific sensitivity to N-nitrosodimethylamine (by the criterion of IgG) was observed in 60.7% subjects. A correlation was found between an increase in the level of IgG to N-nitrosodimethylamine and rise in the concentration of N-nitrosodimethylamine in the blood (R =0.35; p=0.021). Under these conditions the spontaneous and induced production of arachidonic acid metabolites (leukotrienes) increased by 2.1 times, while the expression of p53 transcription factor (responsible for oncosuppression) decreased by 1.9 times as compared to those in the reference group (p<0.05).

Article Synopsis
- - The research focuses on detecting nitrosamines, which are harmful compounds linked to nitrates and nitrites in food and the environment, using a fast and selective mass spectrometry method on human urine samples.
- - A specific method called Ultra High-Pressure Liquid Chromatography-tandem Mass Spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) was used to analyze seven different nitrosamines in 24-hour urine collections, achieving good recovery rates and precision.
- - Results showed that most of the nitrosamines were successfully detected in samples from ten healthy participants, indicating the method's effectiveness for studying nitrosamine exposure in humans.

Emerging evidence highlights the crucial role of gastrointestinal microbiota in the pathogenesis of gastric cancer. () infection stands out as a primary pathogenic factor. However, interventions such as anti- therapy, gastric surgeries, immunotherapy, and chronic inflammation significantly remodel the gastric microbiome, implicating a broader spectrum of microorganisms in cancer development.

The Ames test is a widely used bacterial mutagenicity assay to evaluate the potential of chemical compounds to induce mutations. In recent years, there has been growing concern regarding the presence of N-nitrosamines in pharmaceuticals, food, and other consumer products. N-Nitrosamines are probable mutagens and carcinogens.

Textile printing and dyeing wastewater is a substantial source of highly toxic halogenated pollutants because of the chlorination decolorization. However, information on the occurrence and fate of the highly toxic halogenated byproducts, which are produced by chlorination decolorization of the textile printing and dyeing wastewater, is very limited. In this study, the occurrence of six categories of halogenated byproducts (haloacetic acids (HAAs), haloacetonitriles (HANs), -nitrosamines (NAs), trihalomethanes, halogenated ketones, and halonitromethanes) was investigated along the full-scale treatment processes of textile printing and dyeing wastewater treatment plants.

Spanish commercial dry fermented sausages and dry hams, manufactured with and without nitrate and/or nitrite have been screened for volatile N-nitrosamine (VNA) content. VNAs have been also quantified in experimental fermented sausages prepared with known ingoing amounts of curing salts. Solid phase microextraction followed by tandem quadrupole gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC-QQQ-MS) analysis allowed the identification and quantification of 8 VNAs, 5 of which were detected in the samples.
