“…The overall health of fish populations is dependent on the aforementioned strategy. Fish living in these habitats absorb these pollutants, and there is increasing evidence of the adverse effects of PAH exposure on fish health, including reproductive issues, growth impairments, behavioral changes, as effect of fish culture, and human health . Previously, extensive efforts were dedicated to understanding the consistent loss of gill structure and secondary lamellar fusion in fish exposed to diverse naphthalene concentrations .…”

This study addresses the increasing concern about naphthalene, a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), highlighting its growing threats to the environment and aquatic life. The research examines its impact on Anabas testudineus (Bloch) through a detailed dose-specific bioenzymological analysis. Experimental fish groups were exposed to T1 (0.71 mg/L) and T2 (1.42 mg/L) naphthalene concentrations, representing 25 and 50% of the LC 50 value, respectively, over a 1−21 day period. Following the experiment, water samples underwent physicochemical analysis, while fish tissues were examined for diverse bioenzymological parameters. Among these parameters, aspirate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) serve as crucial indicators for monitoring the physiological status of fish and addressing pollution induced by PAHs, especially naphthalene. Statistical significance was observed in morphopathological changes and erythrocyte alterations, particularly the presence of tear-drop appearance (Tr) positively interacting with swelled cells (Sc), vacuolated cells (Va), and sickle cells (Sk) (P < 0.05). These findings highlight tear-drop appearance (Tr) as a significant biomarker in response to naphthalene exposure. The observed changes in A. testudineus tissue bioenzymology, apoptosis, and erythrocytic alterations were exposure and dose-dependent. The research highlights the significance of overseeing and controlling PAH concentrations in aquatic ecosystems to ensure the well-being of A. testudineus (Bloch).

“…Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are hydrophobic compounds that contain two or more fused aromatic rings in their molecular structure. They are prevalent pollutants found in various environmental matrices such as air, water, and soil [1][2][3][4]. To date, over 100 types of PAHs have been identified in the environment at substantial concentrations [5].…”

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) represent a category of persistent organic pollutants that pose a global concern in the realm of food safety due to their recognized carcinogenic properties in humans. Food can be contaminated with PAHs that are present in water, air, or soil, or during food processing and cooking. The wide and varied sources of PAHs contribute to their persistent contamination of food, leading to their accumulation within these products. As a result, monitoring of the levels of PAHs in food is necessary to guarantee the safety of food products as well as the public health. This review paper attempts to give its readers an overview of the impact of PAHs on crops, their occurrence and sources, and the methodologies employed for the sample preparation and detection of PAHs in food. In addition, possible directions for future research are proposed. The objective is to provide references for the monitoring, prevention, and in-depth exploration of PAHs in food.
