abstract = "Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are among the most toxic compounds knownto man. Several PAHs are proven to be carcinogenic, mutagenic and teratogenic. Due to their widedistribution in the environment and their toxicity, it is considered important to monitor the levels ofthese compounds in foodstuff. PAHs have been detected in many foods including plant-based suchas vegetable oils, cereal grains, herbs, spices, teas and supplements. As the awareness for thehealthy lifestyle has increased globally, the intake of medicinal herbs as tea and spices has alsogrown immensely. Therefore, even stronger emphasis must be made to monitor the toxic levels ofPAHs in herbs. The legislations of the maximum concentrations of certain contaminants in food ofthe Republic of Serbia included PAHs values in dry herbs only by the end of 2019 (Official GazetteRS, No. 81/2019) in comparison to European Commission Regulation dating from 2011. Therefore,herein we focused on analytical method development for PAHs determination in medicinal herbs.",
