According to information I received from a researcher in Holland, the amount
of ethylene gas given off by fruit such as apples is relatively small

Judy:
Did your researcher provide any hard figures? I have seen claims of apples
producing anywhere from 30 to 200 ppm when stored in the fruit or vegetable
crisper of a home refrigerator. Variables might include "ripeness" of the apple,
variety, temperature and ventilation.
