A simple spectrophotometric procedure for the determination of nitrite in water is described. The determination is based on the reaction of nitrite with acidified solution of indole. Simplicity and reduced chemical hazard represent improvement over existing methods. Detection limit for the method is 1 ppm of nitrite.
