Our letter to the editor of Heliyon outlines queries on the methodology and sample preparation used in article e06179, published in 2021. The nitrite measurements reported are higher than those observed in our experience. In the interest of reporting nitrite levels that are fully accurate, we would like to discuss the findings with the article authors.
