Meyer[edit]

“

A classic named reaction for the synthesis of alkyl nitrites is the Meyer synthesis[2][3][4][5][6][7][8] in which alkyl halides react with metallic nitrites to a mixture to nitroalkanes and nitrites.

”

The above quote is in the article but why only one and that guys? there are LOADS of examples of classic named reactions why only his? Please fix thanks. Its like someone really wants readers to know about this Meyer guy with the bold font and the unnecessary amount of references. ΤΕΡΡΑΣΙΔΙΩΣ(^Ταλκ) 22:47, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Food Sources[edit]

The article lists beer as a source of nitrosamines, but I'm wondering there in the brewing process nitrites would enter into the equation. Are the part of the fertilizers used on the grains? Mcrabb23 (talk) 18:50, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Processed Meat and Cancer[edit]

No direct link is suggested between nitrites and increased risk of pancreatic cancer in the references sourced; the references find a general correlation between processed meat consumption and increased risk of pancreatic cancer. Therefore, I am removing this sentence and recommending someone with more time write a section on the presence of nitrites in processed meats and the health effects of their ingestion.

Solubility[edit]

Should it not be mentioned that all Nitrates are soluble except for Silver Nitrate? Rainbow Shifter (talk) 18:46, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

Document References[edit]

The references at the bottom to the MSDS and the other site are both out of date. And should be fixed. --Tassit (talk) 14:07, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
