Abstract

Food is a significant source of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) to which humans are exposed. In this study, we are analysed 14 PAHs in baked and smoked meats known as major source of PAHs, and defined a correlation between benzo(a)pyrene and pyrene to compare estimating risk from human exposure to PAHs with urinary1-hydroxypyrene.(omitted)
