Recovery of PAHs from carrot samples was high, generally in the range 80 - 100 %. Carrots appear to have highest ∑PAH concentrations in their peel, with a decreasing load moving into the root. ∑PAH concentrations are generally below 200 μg/kg (dry weight) with the low molecular weight PAHs being the most abundant.
