    Abstract:
    Saliva and Urine samples were collected for the study on how nitrate and nitrite concentration in human body may be related to the corresponding health risk in a high cancer incidence area. The study area includes three known cancer villages in Huai River basin, China. The results of analyzing collected sample show that there are higher levels of nitrate and nitrite concentration in human saliva and urine sample collected in the study area as compared to those collected in other areas. In addition, levels of nitrate and nitrite concentration in saliva and urine sample change significantly with the ages of sampled population. NO3-concentrations in saliva and urine sample are the most outstanding among the middle-aged and elderly populations. It means that the middle-aged and elderly populations have relatively high vivo nitrate reductive transformation rates and they also have higher N-nitroso compounds synthesis risks in the studied cancer villages.
