• NitrateCompared with: Nitrite differs from nitrate by one oxygen atom and is an intermediate in nitrogen transformations.

• NitrificationRelated: Nitrite is produced in the first step and consumed in the second.

• MethemoglobinemiaRelated: Nitrite exposure, including contaminated water or certain drugs, can cause acquired disease.

• Sodium nitriteNarrower topic: Sodium nitrite is the sodium salt of this ion.

• Nitrous acidRelated: Nitrous acid is commonly generated in solution by acidifying a nitrite salt.

• NitrosationRelated: Nitrite can generate nitrosating species under acidic conditions, but is not itself a nitroso group.

• SausageRelated: Nitrite is used in some cured sausages to control hazards and preserve characteristic color.

• NitrosamineRelated: In acidic conditions, nitrite can generate nitrosating species that react with amines.

• MonochloramineRelated: Nitrification associated with chloraminated water can produce nitrite.

• Dinitrogen trioxideRelated: Nitrite and N₂O₃ share nitrogen’s +3 oxidation state and connect through nitrous acid.

• PepperoniRelated: Curing mixtures may use nitrite to protect pepperoni during processing.

• Ammonium nitriteBroader topic: Nitrite supplies the second nitrogen atom, which is reduced during decomposition.

• NitrososphaeriaRelated: It is the principal product released by archaeal ammonia oxidation.
