Abstract: | Nitrate, acting as a precursor in the formation of carcinogenicN-nitroso compounds, may be implicated in human digestive tract cancers. This study compares nitrate levels in drinking water with subsequent gastric cancer mortality in Kent, south-east England. The data suggest that water nitrate cannot be excluded as an aetiological factor, although other environmental variables must also be considered. |
