The average daily intake for male persons amount to 1.1 μg for N-nitroso-dimethylamine (NDMA) and 0.1-0.15 μg for N-nitroso-pyrrolidine (NPYR). About 64% of this total daily intake for NDMA is found in beer, 10% result from cured meat products. The surprising contamination of beer is formed during the drying (kilning) of malt and can be eliminated. Copyright © 1980 S.
