O salami It is a sausage of Italian origin, made with pork and/or beef, fat and seasonings, such as garlic, pepper and herbs. This food is very versatile and can be consumed alone, as an appetizer, or used in different recipes, such as pizzas, sandwiches and salads. It is an excellent source of protein and fat, but it is also high in sodium, so it should be consumed in moderation, especially by people with high blood pressure.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are organic compounds that have two or more aromatic rings in their structure. PAHs are widely studied because they are considered environmental pollutants and represent a risk to public health. Some PAHs are known to be carcinogenic, mutagenic and teratogenic, that is, they can cause cancer, genetic mutations and malformations in fetuses.
For researchers at the Adolfo Lutz Institute, the products may be undergoing smoking processes without the use of smoke filters, which reduce the presence of these compounds. This is because the method is traditional, used because Brazilian law still allows this modality. The study was published in the journal scientificFood Analytical Methods.
Exposure to PAHs can occur in a number of ways, including inhaling cigarette smoke, eating contaminated products (in the case of salami) and the inhalation of air polluted by sources of combustion, such as car engines and industries.
To reduce exposure to PAHs, it is important to adopt preventive measures, such as avoiding smoking and exposure to cigarette smoke, reducing exposure to vehicle exhaust fumes, maintain adequate ventilation indoors, and consume fresh and minimally processed.
