Abstract:
Between 1986 and 1990 the content in nitrites and nitrates of the daily meals in various collectivities in Moldavia was determined. The nitrite content ranged between 1.3 mg. NO2-/day (Suceava) and 7.38 mg NO2-/day (Botoşani) and the nitrate content between 24.93 mg NO3-/day (Suceava) and 92.30 mg. NO3-/day (Galaţi). The content in these poisons of the daily meals in two crèches from Iaşi and Bacău was also analysed, high values for both of them being found in the Bacău crèche. Some measures are suggested.
