  Sodium nitrite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It is also used in manufacturing diazo dyes, nitroso compounds, and other organic compounds; in dyeing and printing textile fabrics and bleaching fibers; in photography; as a laboratory reagent and a corrosion inhibitor; in metal coatings for phosphatizing and detinning; and in the manufacture of rubber chemicals.
Sodium nitrite also has been used in human and veterinary medicine as a vasodilator, a bronchodilator, an intestinal relaxant or a laxative, and an antidote for cyanide poisoning.
Recently, sodium nitrite has been found to be an effective means to increase blood flow by dilating blood vessels, acting as a vasodilator.

 Consumer Warning: Processed Meats Cause Cancer
The true cause of the heightened cancer risk is the widespread use of a carcinogenic precursor ingredient known as sodium nitrite by food processing companies, says nutritionist Mike Adams, author of the just-published Grocery Warning manual.
The USDA actually tried to ban sodium nitrite in the 1970's, but was preempted by the meat processing industry, which relies on the ingredient as a color fixer to make foods look more visually appealing.
Sodium nitrite is found in literally thousands of different menu items at fast food restaurants and dining establishments.

 9-I-2 SODIUM NITRITE WASTEWATER TREATMENT SYSTEM
The nitrite level of 800 mg/l prohibits the discharge of the wastewater.
The addition of sulfamic acid to the wastewater effectively removes sodium nitrite by reducing the nitrites to form sodium bisulfate, diatomic nitrogen, and water.
Treating wastewater to remove sodium nitrite is a practice that may be used to meet an effluent standard on a NPDES permit (40 CFR 122).

 The real reason why processed meats are so dangerous to your health
Sodium nitrite is widely regarded as a toxic ingredient, and the USDA actually tried to ban this additive in the 1970's but was vetoed by food manufacturers who complained they had no alternative for preserving packaged meat products.
And I believe this sodium nitrite is the primary cause of pancreatic cancer in humans who consume even moderate quantities of processed meats.
But in terms of the major causative factors of disease in the human body, I believe the two primary culprits are the heavy metals and toxins concentrated in the fat tissues of cows, combined with the sodium nitrite additives used by meat processing companies to preserve their products and give them enhanced visual appeal.

 Processed meat consumption results in 67% increase in pancreatic cancer risk, says new research
Nearly all processed meats are made with sodium nitrite: breakfast sausage, hot dogs, jerkies, bacon, lunch meat, and even meats in canned soup products.
Yet this ingredient is a precursor to highly carcinogenic nitrosamines -- potent cancer-causing chemicals that accelerate the formation and growth of cancer cells throughout the body.
When consumers eat sodium nitrite in popular meat products, nitrosamines are formed in the body where they promote the growth of various cancers, including colorectal cancer and pancreatic cancer, says Adams.

Sodium nitrite, a common food curing agent and an in vivo product of metabolic conversion of foodborne nitrates, was tested for its effects on reproduction and fertility in Swiss CD-1 mice using the RACB protocol.
Data on food and water consumptions, body weights, and clinical signs from the dose-range-finding study (Task 1) were used to set exposure concentrations for the continuous cohabitation phase (Task 2) at 0.06, 0.12, and 0.24% weight per volume in drinking water.
While mortality during nursing was not increased by nitrite exposure, pup body weights were reduced in the top dose group from postnatal day 7 to 21 by approximately 12 to 17%.

 Heart Info - Meat Preservative Could Preserve Human Heart   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
In a series of experiments with mice, infusions of small amounts of sodium nitrite were found to reduce the amount of cardiac tissue killed in a heart attack by 67 percent, the researchers reported.
The preservative effect was seen only when very small amounts of sodium nitrite were infused, enough to raise concentrations very slightly.
The idea is to give a small infusion in the minutes after someone arrives at an emergency room with a heart attack and is getting artery-opening treatment such as angioplasty, he said.
