| Abstract | ||
| In the current study, imported frozen fish (Megalaspis cordyla, Ctenopharyngodon idella, Labeo rohita and Acanthopagrus latus) and imported canned fish (sardines, mackerel and tuna). were used to detect and determine some toxic polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons in their muscles. The compounds were extracted and analysed by gas chromatography then concentrations were determined. Polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons included: naphthalene, indole, 2-methylnaphthalene, 1-methylnaphthalene, biphenyl, acenaphthylene, acanaphthene, dibenzofuran + fluorine, anthracene + phenanthrene, fluoranthene, carbazol, pyrene, benz (a) anthracene, chrysene, benzo (a) pyrene, benzo (a) fluoranthene + benzo (k) fluoranthene, indeno (1,2,3-cd) pyrene, dibenz(a,h)anthracene, and benzo(g,h,i)perylene. Results showed that all fish samples contained polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons in their muscles, In frozen fish, concentrations ranged from 7.168 μg/kg in Labeo rohita and 13.196 μg/kg in Megalaspis cordyla. And in canned fish samples, the total concentration mean of Polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons was between 12.252 μg/kg in tuna and 28.614 μg/kg in mackerel. Concentrations averages of some polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons were exceed the permitted legal limits that set by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO). | ||
