TI  - Assessing contamination of smoked sprats (Sprattus sprattus) with polycyclic 
      aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and changes in its level during storage in various 
      types of packaging.

AB  - The analysis of material used in this study demonstrated that the amount of 
      polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in smoked sprats varies from the level 
      below the lowest detection limit in muscles up to 9.99 microg kg(-1) of 
      benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) in fish skin. Such a high level of PAHs in skin was reported 
      only in one of six batches of sprats, while mean BaP level was at 1.69 microg kg(-1). 
      Regardless such a high BaP level in skin, its concentration in muscles did not 
      exceed the maximum acceptable level. The study objective was to assess to what 
      extent packaging materials adsorb PAH compounds from food. Changes in the PAH 
      levels were monitored in fish during their storage in packages made of various 
      materials. The storage time was from 0 to 168 hours. The obtained results varied 
      considerably, therefore their scatter did not allow to confirm unequivocally the 
      preliminary hypothesis about the reduction of PAHs due to their migration to 
      packaging material. However, analysis of the packaging used in this study 
      demonstrated a significant increase in the level of total 16 PAHs. When 
      high-density polyethylene (HDPE) packaging was analysed, a six-fold increase in 
      the total 16 PAHs was observed comparing to the blank sample.
