| Abstract |
Crude petroleums are known to contain low concentrations of a number of substances mainly of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon type which can, on prolonged and intimate contact, cause skin cancer in man. Similar substances are present in the environment as byproducts of pyrolysis etc. and as natural constituents of certain vegetable foostuffs. These substances have only a very limited solubility in water and at such low concentrations should cause little hazard, but there is a possibility of their concentration in the food chain. This paper attempts to examine all aspects of this problem in the light of published research in a variety of disciplines. |
