Smoking cessation: Avoiding tobacco smoke, both active and passive. Dietary changes: Limiting consumption of charred meats and processed foods known to contain high levels of benzo[a]pyrene. Pollution control: Implementing stricter regulations on industrial emissions and vehicle exhaust to reduce environmental contamination. Protective measures: Using protective gear in occupational settings where exposure to benzo[a]pyrene is likely.
