1. What is Greentest?

1.1 What does Greentest detect? How can nitrates inﬂuence my

health and quality of life?

Greentest 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 is a device for an express test of nitrates in fresh

fruit, vegetables, meat and water hardness, it can also measure

background radiation and determine radioactive objects, food products,

construction materials etc.

Of all the substances that are transferred to fruit and vegetables from

fertilizers, nitrates are the most harmful if excess amounts are regularly

consumed. Continuous intake of food with high nitrate content may

lead to an elevated risk of intestinal cancer, methemoglobinemia,

diabetes, Alzheimer's disease or nitrate poisoning.

When drinking water it is important to keep balance between soft and

hard water. A constant consumption of hard water can have a negative

impact on man's health. It can harm the digestive system, have a

negative eﬀect on skin, cardiovascular system, and lead to the severe

diarthrosis, kidney and bile passages problems.

Staying in a hazardous radiation zone or in the vicinity of objects with

high background radiation leads to adverse eﬀects of radiation

exposure.

The highest radiation exposure is experienced by people in big Note!

cities, due to the natural background radiation being complemented by

radioactive substances in building materials, air, food and radiation

contaminated objects.

Excess of natural background radiation leads to premature aging,

weakening of eyesight, the immune system exhaustion, excessive

anxiety, hypertension and congenital malformations in children.

1.2 What substances does Greentest measure and how to use it?

Greentest measures:

1. Concentration of various salts in the tested product, including salts

that contain essential nutrients as well as salts that can cause

serious harm to your health. Greentest technology helps to detect

the weight concentrations of salt ions such as: (Cl) chloride, (SO4)

sulphate, (NO3) nitrate, and (NO2) nitrite-ions and calibrated to

show the precise amount of nitrate ions. Nitrate salts that

accumulate in high concentrations due to improper cultivation of fruit

and vegetables pose the most serious risk to human health.

2. Concentration of various salts in water. Greentest is a TDS meter

(Total Dissolved Solids). TDS meter can detect salts, solids and

acids dissolved in water. High molecular organic compounds such

as pesticides, herbicides and hydrocarbons cannot be detected by

the device. Greentest scale is calibrated in ppm (parts per million)

and it determines the amount of foreign ions for 1 000 000

molecules of water. That is why 1ppm = 1 mg/l = 0,02 mg -

equivalent/liter = 0,01 mM equivalent/liter. The norms are provided

by the German Institute of Standardization (DIN19643).

3. Background radiation determined by the amount of power of ionizing

radiation (gamma-ray and beta-particle ﬂux). Having compared the

measurements with the international standards, Greentest Eco

displays the test results.

1.3 How can I protect myself from excess amounts of nitrates

found in fruit and vegetables?

With the help of Greentest you can immediately check the exact

concentration of nitrates in your fruit and vegetables and decide

whether it is safe to consume them or not.

The World Health Organization's (WHO) suggested 3.7mg. of nitrates

per kg. of body weight as a maximum daily intake for adults. For

example, if your body weight was 50 kg., then your suggested

maximum daily nitrate intake would be 185mg (50 kg. x 3.7mg). So, if

you used the Greentest device to test a common vegetable like

cabbage and obtained a test result of 1100 mg/kg of nitrates, then an

adult could only safely eat 185 (mg)/1100 (mg/kg) = 0.168kg or 168 g.

of this cabbage.

In general people consume several kinds of fruit and vegetables per

day and would like to make sure the total nitrate intake is far below the

daily limit by carefully checking all food. Food with preservatives may

also contain a signiﬁcant amount of nitrates that should be considered

when calculating the daily nitrate intake.

Also, note that suggested daily nitrate limits for children are much

lower than for adults. Children are more susceptible to the harmful

1.4 How can I protect myself from the inﬂuence of background

radiation and radiation in objects?

In case of detecting a high level of the background radiation by

Greentest Eco it is advisable to leave the hazardous area immediately

and report the ﬁndings to the authorities. If the source of the high level

of radiation is an object, the course of actions should be as above and

you need to call specialists. If it is a food product, it is forbidden to eat it.

The less time you spend next to the source of radiation, the less harm

you get for your health.

Types of Greentest based on its functions:

1. Greentest 1 (black color case) is measuring nitrates in vegetables

and fruit.

2. Greentest 2 (white color case) is measuring nitrates in vegetables,

fruit, meat and ﬁsh.

3. Greentest 3 is measuring nitrates in vegetables,

fruit, meat and ﬁsh products, also it can check water hardness (TDS

meter).

4. Greentest Eco 4 is measuring nitrates in vegetables, fruit, meat and

ﬁsh products and radiation background.

5. Greentest Eco 5 is measuring nitrates in vegetables,

fruit, meat and ﬁsh products, as well water hardness and radiation

background.

eﬀects of nitrates, hence the suggested daily nitrate limit for children

younger than one year old is 30 mg. For older children the suggested

daily nitrate intake limit is 50 mg.

Here are some practical suggestions about how you can minimize

levels of nitrates in your diet: eat mostly seasonal fruit and vegetables

as they require less fertilizers, pesticides and chemicals during

cultivation; wash greens, fruit and vegetables thoroughly before eating;

discard of all the spoiled areas; cut peeled vegetables in half and soak

in cold, slightly salted water for 30-40 min (this procedure substantially

lowers the level of nitrates in products you tested); boil vegetables in a

large pot of water and discard the water; don't use in aluminum dishes

for salads; peel oﬀ the skin and discard those parts where high levels

of nitrates were detected.

On the other hand, intensive treatment such as soaking and boiling for

long periods of time leads to losses of the nutritious bioactive

substances including vitamins, macro - and microelements,

polyphenols, etc. found in fruit and vegetables.

NOTE:

When testing fruit, vegetables or meat with your Greentest device you

may notice wide variations in the concentration of nitrates (twofold or

more) within diﬀerent parts of the same fruit or vegetable. This is

normal as there may be an irregular distribution of nitrates within the

fruit or vegetable. For example, higher concentrations of nitrates are

often found closer to the stalk or seeds of a tomato or cucumber. If that

part is localized and its weight is small, then the amount of nitrates it

contains will not pose much of a health risk. However, if the Greentest

device detects an amount of nitrates above the limit (display shows

red), we advise you to cut that part of the plant out and discard it.
