PAH Benzo(a)anthracene - What You Need to Know

PAH Benzo(a)anthracene is a contaminant formed during the incomplete combustion of organic material.

It is often found near power plants and busy highways, and tends to bind to particulate matter in the atmosphere.

Benzo(a)anthracene is found in various kinds of smoke and flue gases, tobacco smoke, automobile exhaust, roasted coffee and in charcoal broiled, barbecued or smoked meats.

It may also be found in creosote, coal tar, petroleum asphalt, and a variety of foods, including vegetable oils and baker's yeast.

The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has determined that benzo(a)anthracene may reasonably be anticipated to be a carcinogen.
