DETERMINATION OF POLYCYCLIC AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS AND HEAVY METAL CONTENTS OF BARBECUE BEEF, FISH AND CHICKEN

The purpose of this work is to investigate the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and heavy metal contents of barbecue fish, beef and chicken obtained from Minna, Niger state, using standard procedures. Extraction of PAHs was done using sonification method. n-Hexane, dichloromethane (DCM) and m...
