Study of nitrate levels in fruits and vegetables to assess the potential health risks in Bangladesh

Abstract Nitrate is a chemical compound naturally present in fruits and vegetables. This study aims at assessing the nitrate levels and health risks arising from high consumption of fruits and vegetables in Bangladesh. Sixteen species of fruits and vegetables were examined for nitrates using High-Pe...
