English. The ingestion of natural levels of nitrates and nitrites (at concentrations which are present in the vegetable and animal foods) is generally not toxic for humans. In the human organism nitrates, nitrites and their metabolites do play beneficial roles. The metaisolates of acidified nitrite have been shown to be bactericidal for gastrointestinal, oral and skin pathogenic bacteria. The other beneficial effects of NO, NOX and anion peroxynitrite are here illustrated

Italian. L´ingestione di nitrato e di nitrito alle dosi riscontrabili negli alimenti non sembra tossica per l´essere umano. Anzi, i loro metaboliti riescono benefici: il nitrito acidificato risulta battericida, protoozocida e probabilmente virucida. Vengono descritti gli effetti benefici degli ossidi d´azoto
