الملخص

Study of the levels of thirteen polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the muscles, liver and gills of 5 frozen fish species from the Libyan market. Gas chromatographic analysis were employed for PAHs determination. Observed mean PAHs levels in the samples ranged from below detection limit (BD) of analytical instrument to 35.7 ng.g-1 in seriala dumerili, from BD to 30.5 ng. g-1 in pagellus acarne , from BD to 24.7 ng. g-1 in Mullus barbatus. From BD to 27.9 ng. g-1 in pagellus bogaraveo and from BD to 28.0 ng.g-1 in Gilthead seabream. chrysene, Benzo(a)anthracene, Dibenzo(a,h)anthracene and Benzo(g,h,i)perylene in a detectable concentration ranging from 0.35 ngg-1 in the muscles of seriala dumerili to 4.81 ngg-1 in the gills of pagellus acarne.
