I read your report and maybe I can offer an explanation.

To my knowledge, no cooking oil in the human universe contains benzopyrene because it is poisonous. Yet it was found in the AIR SAMPLE of the report's location, in Taiwan.

Think there might be benzopyrene in the air in Taiwan? After all, you can still buy and use carbon tet to clean things there, but we stopped that 30 years ago.

I suggest that the benzopyrene might have been in the air, not in the cooking oil. And it got swept away with the "air sample"

Design of experiments has a lot to do with the conclusions.

If done in a lab, I didn't see that anywhere and my comments have to be taken in that context, then.

PS: Vote foir Pedro and Biodiesel
