“…Therefore, the significance of investigations undertaken in this work goes beyond the domestic issues. The high concentration of aerosols containing particular chemical substances, including carcinogenic metals, may lead to health problems and an increased death rate for people living in such regions (Dolk et al 1999; Du Four et al 2005; García-Pérez et al 2010). The results of the research are essential for the better identification of threats, especially in the areas near coking plants that are inhabited by several hundred thousand people.…”

Samples of PM1 were collected in the surroundings of coking plants located in southern Poland. Chemical fractionation provided information on the contents of trace elements As, Cd, Co, Cr, Hg, Mn, Ni, Pb, Sb and Se in all mobile (F1-F3) and not mobile (F4) fractions of PM1 in the vicinity of large sources of emissions related to energochemical processing of coal during the summer. The determined enrichment factors indicate the influence of anthropogenic sources on the concentration of the examined elements contained in PM1 in the areas subjected to investigation. The analysis of health risk for the assumed scenario of inhabitant exposure to the toxic effect of elements, based on the values of the hazard index, revealed that the absorption of the examined elements contained in the most mobile fractions of particulate matter via inhalation by children and adults can be considered potentially harmless to the health of people inhabiting the surroundings of coking plants during the summer (HI < 1). It has been estimated that due to the inhalation exposure to carcinogenic elements, i.e., As, Cd, Co, Cr, Ni and Pb, contained in the most mobile fractions (F1 + F2) of PM1, approximately four adults and one child out of one million people living in the vicinity of the coking plants may develop cancer.

“…Today, smoking technology relies mainly on the special effects of various sensory active components (phenol derivatives, carbonyls, organic acids and their esters, lactones, pyrazines, pyrols and furan derivates) contained in smoke for the aromatization of meat products to give it a specific organoleptic profile, which is widely demanded on the market [1]. On the other hand, incomplete wood combustion during the process of smoking can produce considerable amounts of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons -PAHs [2,3], a group of organic compounds consisting of two or more condensed aromatic rings, which may be regarded as potentially genotoxic and carcinogenic to humans [4].…”

The occurrence of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in smoked dry fermented sausage with protected designation of origin Petrovská klobása from Serbia was determined by analyzing PAHs from the US EPA and EU priority lists. Peeled natural cased sausages smoked in industrial and traditional smokehouses were studied in order to assess the influence of smoking conditions on the PAH contents. The highest total concentration of EPA PAHs was found in the samples smoked in traditional smokehouse, being almost 15 times higher than the total EPA PAH content in sausages smoked in an industrial smokehouse; the content of EU PAHs in both types of smoked products were similar, being close to 1.5 µg/kg. The most abundant compound was phenanthrene, with an average content of about 31 µg/kg in traditionally smoked samples and about 3 µg/kg in industrially smoked samples. The concentrations of benzo[a]pyrene as well as the total concentrations of benzo[a]pyrene, benzo [a]anthracene, benzo[b]fluranthene and chrysene (comprising the so-called "PAH4" group) were rather low in both types of smoked sausages, being well below the corresponding maximum allowed levels set by the latest European Regulation 835/2011 and not representing any risk to consumers' health.Keywords: Petrovská klobása; polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons; smoking; traditional sausages; PAH4 ПОЛИЦИКЛИЧНИ АРОМАТИЧНИ ЈАГЛЕВОДОРОДИ ВО ЧАДЕНИ СУВИ ФЕРМЕНТИРАНИ КОЛБАСИ СО ОЗНАКА НА ПОТЕКЛО Petrovská klobása ОД СРБИЈААнализирано е присуството на полициклични ароматични јаглеводороди (PAHs) во чаден сув колбас со ознака на потеклото, petrovská klobása, од Србија преку анализа на PAHs од приоритетните листи на US EPA и EU. Проучувани се излупени колбаси чадени во природна обвивка во индустриски и традиционални чадилници за да се оцени влијанието на условите за чадење на содржината на полициклични ароматични јаглеводороди во нив. Највисока вкупна концентрација на EPA PAHs беше најдена во примероците чадени во традиционална чадилница, која беше за околу 15 пати повисока во споредба со вкупната содржина на овие супстанции најдена во колбасите чадени во индустриска чадилница; содржината на EU PAHs во двата вида чадени производи беше слична и блиска до 1.5 µg/kg. Најзастапено соединение беше фенантрен со средна содржина од околу 31 µg/kg во традиционално чадените примероци и околу 3 µg/kg во индустриски чадените примероци. Концентрацијата на бензо[a]пирен, како и вкупните концентрации на бензо[a]пирен, бензо[a]антрацен, бензо[b]флурантен и хризен (кои ја чинат групата "PAH4") беа ниски во двата вида чадени колбаси, и тоа значително пониски од соодветните максимално дозволени нивоа поставени со најновата европска регулатива 835/2011, така што не претставуваат никаков ризик за здравјето на потрошувачите во однос на присуството на полициклични ароматични јаглеводороди.Клучни зборови: petrovská klobása; полициклични ароматични јаглеводороди; чадење; традиционални колбаси; PAH4

“…In particular, one air sampler was used with functionalized filters, the other with normal GF/D™ filters. Downstream the filters, a cylindrical polyurethane foam cartridge (density 0,022 g cm -1 , 1 cm diameter per 5 cm length; Tisch Environmental™, Cleves, OH, USA) was used to collect vapors not retained from filters (Park et al, 2002;Bi et al, 2003;Du Four et al, 2005;Miller et al, 2010;Pandley et al, 2011, Anastasopoulos et al, 2012. The sampling geometry is described by Fig.…”

“…The most commonly used adsorbents are polyurethane foam cartridges (PUF) and poly(styrene-divinylbenzene) porous particles (commercially known as XAD-2™). PUF is an efficient sorbent even for the most volatile PAHs: thanks to its relatively high capacity, low cost and small impedance, it is widely used in air sampling (Park et al, 2002;Bi et al, 2003;Du Four et al, 2005;Miller et al, 2010;Anastasopoulos et al, 2012;Kavouras et al, 2015;EPA method TO-13A). XAD is a valid alternative to PUF, due to its high adsorption capacity for aromatic compounds (Bartkow et al, 2004a, b;Ré-Poppi and Santiago-Silva 2005;Masih et al, 2012;Liu et al, 2014).…”

The sampling of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the atmosphere is often performed on filters, which retain only aerosol particles, disregarding the vapor fraction; after the filter, an adsorbent (e.g., polyurethane foam, PUF, or styrene/divinylbenzene, XAD) is sometimes used for sampling vapors not retained from the filter. However, the use of an adsorbent may lead to many disadvantages: contaminations, analysis time and costs, and size problems when developing automated or personal samplers. In this work, a functionalized glass fiber filter for the simultaneous sampling of aerosol particles and vapor fraction is presented for the sampling of PAHs in air. A low sampling efficiency was observed for 3 ring PAHs, but all carcinogenic PAHs (according to IARC) were totally retained on functionalized filters. On the other hand, a comparison with normal filter sampling was performed, and results obtained confirm that > 10% of benzo(a)pyrene can be lost from normal filters. Together with size reduction, another advantage of the functionalized filter is an enhancement in the extraction and purification recovery.
