This study tries to reveal the levels of three distinct PAHs (naphthalene, benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) and anthracene on honey samples. They were taken from several different stations from the Nigde City (Central Anatolia, Turkey). The Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry results revealed that twenty-four honey samples having naphthalene residues (for GC-MS limit of detection is 1 ppb and the upper limit 100 ppb in the European Union MRLs). In addition six samples have BaP residues (1.51 +/- 0.47 ng/g) and eight examples have anthracene residues (1.59 +/- 0.85 ng/g). Heavy metals in the honey samples were studied on Pb, Ni, Cr and Cd elements. To get simple and multivariate statistics, the SPSS Statistics 21 software has been used for this work. According to simple statistics, maximum minimum values for Pb are 4286-1998; Ni 9987-5457; Cr 9654-2335 and Cd 3229-1090. However, we get higher statistics values from Cr and Cd. These results could decrease the quality of honey.
