Two groups of slaughtery pigs with high and low intake of nitrate in drinking water (100 and 1 mg/l, respectively) were compared regarding thioether concentration and mutagenic activity with SalmoneLla TA98 and E. coli WP2 uvrA in urine and micronuclei in lymphocytes and bone marrow cells. There were no statistically significant effects of high nitrate intake in any of the parameters.
