Eighty samples of various kinds of cured meat products were analyzed for volatile nitrosamines. Nitrosopyrrolidine (NPy) was determined by using thin layer chromatography and simple dialkylnitrosamines were measured by using a gas-liquid chromatographic (GLC) method with a Coulson electrolytic conductivity detector (pyrolytic mode). Seventeen samples contained 13–105 ppb NPy; 29 samples contained 2–35 ppb dimethylnitrosamine (DMN) ; 9 samples contained 2-25 ppb diethylnitrosamine (DEN). In a few cases the identities of NPy, DMN, and DEN were confirmed by GLC-mass spectrometry.
