The CPS is conducting a study of a portable nitrate sensor to evaluate the objectivity and reliability of their measurements, according to the Agency.

The CPS notes that in the season of harvest in the Internet there were offers on the purchase of altasterol to determine the quantity of nitrates in vegetables and fruits. The price of the devices ranges from 5 thousand to 8 thousand rubles, and in the advertisement does not specify that the instruments measure only the conductivity, the Agency says.

Also, the CPS gives advice on buying vegetables and fruits. So, it is recommended to buy only in places authorized for trade, and the purchase should pay attention to the appearance and storage conditions of fruits and vegetables. If necessary, the seller should ask the documents accompanying the products.
