Are bananas really treated with nitrogen so that they ripen quickly and how dangerous is it for health?

no, it is not dangerous for health)))
bananas are treated with a mixture of gases, consisting of 95% nitrogen and 5% ethylene.
the active agent is ethylene, a plant hormone that "starts" the ripening process, and nitrogen is used as a buffer.

nitrogen is harmless to the body (the air we breathe is 78% of it)
ethylene has a weak narcotic effect (used in medical anesthesia), has a hazard class 4 - low-hazard substances. those. poisoning with ethylene is really tricky. (for example, ethyl alcohol also belongs to the fourth class).

After processing, all excess ethylene is blown off with air.

And the last thing: ethylene is a plant hormone. from is originally found in bananas (as well as in many other fruits) and makes them ripen. when we buy unripe bananas and store them in a bag, they also ripen under the influence of ethylene. it's just that the industry learned to speed up this process by using large quantities of ethylene.

No, that's wrong. They are treated not with nitrogen, but with ethylene. It's safe.
