A procedure has been developed for the detection and estimation of 3,4‐benzopyrene in smoke and smoked fish. Results indicate that the use of a smoke scrubber in the industrial smoking process is instrumental in removing at least 70 % of this carcinogenic material from curing smoke. Results from a complementary study of samples of smoked fish confirm this finding.
