This review provides a comprehensive conclusion of the relationship between the intake of various polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and different dietary patterns, pointing to the accompanying potential health risks. To achieve this, existing pertinent research was collected and analyzed. The collation revealed that the concentration of PAHs in food and their dietary patterns were diverse in different regions. Specifically, the concentration of PAHs in food was found to be related to the level of pollution in the area, including soil, air, and water pollution, which is then accumulated through the food chain into food that can be ingested directly by the human body, resulting in malformations in offspring, increased risk of cancer, and gene mutation. Guidebooks and dietary surveys were consulted to uncover disparities in dietary patterns, which indicated regional variations in taste preferences, traditional foods, and eating habits. Different regions are spatially categorized in this assessment by cities, countries, and continents. Notably, smoking and grilling are two of the food processing methods most likely to produce high levels of PAHs. To prevent excessive intake of PAHs from food items and attain a higher quality of life, more health education is urgently needed to promote healthy eating patterns.
本综述全面总结了各种多环芳烃（PAHs）的摄入量与不同饮食模式之间的关系，并指出了随之而来的潜在健康风险。为此，收集并分析了现有的相关研究。整理发现，不同地区食物中PAHs的浓度及其饮食模式各不相同。具体而言，食物中PAHs的浓度与该地区的污染程度有关，包括土壤、空气和水污染，这些污染随后通过食物链累积到可被人体直接摄入的食物中，导致后代畸形、癌症风险增加和基因突变。查阅了指南和饮食调查以发现饮食模式的差异，这些差异表明了口味偏好、传统食物和饮食习惯的地区差异。在本评估中，不同地区按城市、国家和大陆进行空间分类。值得注意的是，吸烟和烧烤是最有可能产生高浓度PAHs的两种食品加工方法。为防止从食品中过量摄入PAHs并获得更高的生活质量，迫切需要更多的健康教育来促进健康的饮食模式。
