Abstract

Nitrate and nitrite contents of commonly consumed cereals, pulses and vegetables in four provinces of Pakistan
indicated highest levels (6490 ppm) in vegetables. Cereals from the NWFP contained more nitrites than those collected
from other provinces. The lowest amounts of nitrate and nitrite were detected in the pulses.
