    Abstract:
    The studies on nitrates and nitrites food intake in years 1996-2005 were curried out in six types of households. Using household budget data and literature mean values of nitrates and nitrites contents in food products food intakes of these compounds were calculated and compared to acceptable daily intake (ADI) taking into consideration main sources of them. The obtained results indicated that the mean nitrate and nitrite food intakes did not exceed ADI and were relatively low 132-190 mg NaNO3/per person/day (56.8% ADI), and 3.0 to 3.5 mg NaNO2/per person/day (58% ADI). Nitrate and nitrite food intakes depended on type of household being highest at pensioners and retired persons and farmers. The main sources of nitrates were vegetables and their products supplied 89% of nitrates whereas meat and meat products supplied 69% of nitrites.
