TY - JOUR AU - Nyerhovwo Ovuowo, Temabor AB - College of Science, Federal PAHs whose source is attributable to anthropogenic activities have been determined in smoked fish University of Petroleum Resources, PMB 1221, Effurun, obtained from markets in Effurun-Warri metropolis. The concentrations observed may be as a result of Nigeria the smoking method employed. The objective of the study was to add to the database of the occurrences of PAHs in smoked food using Gas Chromatography with Flame Ionization Detector. The results did not Temabor Nyerhovwo Ovuowo show a pattern in the differences in total PAHs across the sampling points in the markets which may be Department of Chemistry, due to variable smoking temperature. The compositional distribution of PAHs in all samples of the College of Science, Federal smoked Ethmalosa fimbriata showed the dominance of 2,3 – ring PAHs over the 4,5,6 – ring PAHs. This University of Petroleum widespread in the total concentration of the 2,3-ring PAHs was observed in an earlier study of PAHs in Resources, PMB 1221, Effurun, smoked fish. Benzo(a)pyrene, a confirmed carcinogen had levels in the sampled smoked fish, which was Nigeria -1 found to be in excess of the maximum permissible limits of 0.005 mgkg established by the European Union.
