Abstract
The content of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) in sea food (periwinkle, crabs, oysters and shrimps) were determined using Gas chromatography. The results showed that the Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons content in the various seafood were significantly higher when compared the European Union (EU) permissible level for Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons 0.03mg/kg in seafood. The PAHS in Oyster (8.58mg/kg) was highest followed by that found in periwinkle (7.73mg/kg), crab (6.59mg/kg) and Shrimp (6.10 mg/kg). Additionally the PAHs in Oyster (8.58mg/kg) and Periwinkle (7.73mg/kg) were significantly (p˂m) higher as compare to that of Shrimp crab (6.59mg/kg). These implies that the consumption of this seafood may be deleterious to health. Nevertheless, it is recommended that stringent pollution measures should be introduced by the government to prevent increase in anthropogenic activities, resulting in pollution of water bodies with Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon among other hazardous chemicals.
