[Comparative studies on the contamination of foods by cancerogenic hydrocarbons in the Soviet Union and in the GDR. Part 2. Contribution to the method (author's transl)].
The principle of the method used in the Central Institute of Nutrition of the Academy of Sciences of the GDR, in the Oncological-Scientific Centre in Moscow, and in the Petrov Institute of Oncology in Leningrad, for the determination of cancerogenic hydrocarbons including the reference substance benzo[a]pyrene in foods is described and compared with other methods. The results of a comparative study among the institutes mentioned are in a good agreement. The coefficients of variation range between 3.5 and 18.9 percent, depending of the samples. These methodical presumptions enable an international cooperation to recognize the sources and the amounts of food contamination by benzo[a]pyrene.
