The result of examination of oil of unknown origin from the crisis territory as follows: the examined oil has qualities permissible for human nutrition. The examination of contained quantity of contaminants and heavy metals showed that ingredients were not higher than values prescribed by the Statute, except for lead. It is on the upper limit. Contents of radionuclides range within the limits of average values. The quantity is not dangerous for human food. However, the present methods and the existing apparatus are not developed enough, so there is ignorance of the total structure of the sample. There is a possibility of substances being present in very low quantities, first of all, carcinogenic substances or substances which can provoke somatic or genetic changes. Paracelsius said: "Everything is toxic, but it depends of dose". That "dose" is the main cause of consequences (therapeutic, toxic or lethal) which begin as a result of carrying contaminated substances into human organisms.
