[The effect of ionizing radiation on nitrosamine formation from anthropogenic precursors]

The kinetics of formation of nitrosoamines from precursors under the effect of ionizing radiation has first been quantitatively estimated, and the optimal conditions of their formation determined. The possibility of formation of nitrosoamines under the effect of low-level radiation has been investigated. Using the mathematical functions obtained from the experiments, the number of nitrosoamines, that may form under the effect of radiation in the aqueous medium, has been determined.
