Ayurvedic medicinal preparations, commonly known as bhasmas, were analysed for the determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). All the preparations contained PAH. The level of total PAH varied widely (2.32-9.55 ppm) among the preparations tested. Similarly, the benzo(a)pyrene level also varied the highest concentration being 9.7 ppm.
