Abstract
Polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) from industrial waste and oil spills are a recurrent threat to food safety due to their stability and toxicity. Existing methods to establish the concentrations of PAH in environmental and food samples rely on expensive and laborious methodology. The teachings herein provide methods and kits for detecting the presence or absence of PAH. In certain embodiments, the quantity of PAH in a sample can be determined.
