  • Published in the journal Environmental Health Insights, the study found that meats singed with tyres contain high levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), particularly a harmful chemical called Benzo [a]pyrene, which is known to increase the risk of cancer.

The research, conducted by scientists from the University of Ghana, found that the smoke from burning tyres contains polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which are known to be carcinogenic.

The study calls for immediate regulatory measures to ban this hazardous practice and suggests alternative, safer methods for meat preparation to protect public health.
