A new ASTM International standard provides a test method for finding low concentrations of nitrosamines, a suspected type of carcinogen, in water. The standard ( D8456 ) was developed by ASTM’s water committee ( D19 ). Nitrosamines exist in low concentrations in water, foods, vegetables, and dairy products. According to ASTM International member William Lipps, this standard presents a relatively…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Brian Milewski, tel +1.610.832.9619; bmilewski@astm.org Release #11486 ###
